Project Overview

From 2013 to 2014 Duratex developed the Evaluation of the Sustainability Index of Hydrographic Basins. This study was aimed at assessing the situation of the catchment basins where Duratex industrial units are located, considering aspects related to water, the economy, society and politics.

From 2013 to 2014 Duratex developed the Evaluation of the Sustainability Index of Hydrographic Basins. This study was aimed at assessing the situation of the catchment basins where Duratex industrial units are located, considering aspects related to water, the economy, society and politics. In 2015, the company deepened this study through an evaluation of the industrial departments and their teams to understand how local factors related to water – such as changes in the rainfall regime and competition for this resource, for instance – can impact industrial operations. One of the most innovative projects, in which the Company is a part, is the Flow Tower Program, which since 2008 has studied the balances of carbon, water and nutrients over time throughout the eucalyptus forest cycle. The project aims to clarify, among other issues, how carbon sequestration takes place in bio-mass and soil, as well as researching the sustainability of high-producing forests.
