Terramater and the Environment
Since its inception, Terramater has had a focus on the environment. As a company, we fulfill our social responsibility and have developed a unique and innovative method that does not harm nature to carry out our production processes, promoting sustainable decontamination. Our process generates no waste. For 17 years, we have achieved certifications that span the globe, such as Ecocert, Natural, Cosmos Organic, Zero Waste, Eureciclo, Somos Felizes, and we comply with Halal, Kosher, and Vegan standards.
We prioritize partners and suppliers who share our values, such as quality supply, sustainability, and respect for the environment. Our quality sector is constantly seeking innovation and improvement, believing that we can always do better.
For this reason, we develop partnerships with local projects. When we can change the place where we live, we end up educating the people around us environmentally.
ZERO WASTE PROGRAM
We have formed a significant partnership with the Panacéia Rural Space, under the leadership of environmental engineer Fábio, who implemented the "Zero Waste" program in the company. With the measures adopted, we managed to eliminate the waste generated in our production process. The clay residues gain new value at Panacéia Rural Space, becoming raw material for brick manufacturing, plastering inputs, and even organic fertilizers.
TERRARTE PROGRAM
Another partnership we are proud of is with the University of Vale do Itajaí – UNIVALI, through Professor José Matarezzi, supporting and directing a social and educational project called Terrarte, carried out in schools in the municipality. The project aims to educate students about the richness of clays and to produce natural paints using them, always emphasizing environmental education.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS PROGRAM
Environmental awareness is a long-term process. We constantly invest through courses and lectures within our company to inform and update our employees about relevant topics.
SDG PROGRAM
We are signatories of the National Movement of Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs, where we engage in actions aligned with the UN's 2030 agenda.
