Each company in the group plays a role and covers one or more stages of the circular economy. They are independent, but can work together, as they were designed to.
We provide in-company waste management, carrying out the collection, separation, storage, transport, sorting and correct disposal of all post-consumer materials.
We manufacture disposable, waterproof personal protective equipment with
circular thinking; our PPE is more easily disassembled after use, making recycling easier.
We manufacture AISI 304 stainless steel meshes and filters for extruders, filtering and sieving, an essential step in sorting and reusing materials, with durable, fully recyclable products.
We supply steam and heat for industry from alternative fuels such as RDF and biomass, giving an energy use to what cannot be recycled and closing the loop.
One phrase has marked the Group's entire journey.
"Olhamos onde ninguém olha."
It was with this phrase that we built all our businesses. One example is the connection between the Group's companies.
At Esfera we manufacture PPE from virgin materials with no metal components, because we know how hard it is to recycle contaminated plastic waste. At Innova we take advantage of Esfera's sustainable production: we can sort the plastic material and send it for recycling, where it is transformed into polyethylene pellets, creating new possibilities for use and bringing the material back into the production chain.
That is how circularity works: if we are generating a material that is not recycled, why not rethink how it is produced?
Besides reducing the need to extract more natural resources, this dynamic eliminates waste across the production chain, meaning savings for industries, their partners and the end customer. It extends the life cycle of the resources we have, creates opportunities, generates jobs and income and brings positive visibility to those who take part.
