Vector (1) + Design of products that minimise waste 

With the design or redesign of products that take into account a less intensive use of resources, giving priority to renewable and non-hazardous materials, as well as the integration of recovered raw materials.

Group + Extension of the life cycle of materials 

Optimisation of take-back, reuse and remanufacturing or recycling networks. 

Subtract + More efficient production models 

Reduction in the consumption of virgin raw materials, as well as production processes that minimise waste, such as Sonae Arauco's mouldable MDF, whose 3D embossments are made without machining, therefore generating less waste and improving productivity. 

Group (1) + Promotion of by-products and Upcycling 

Production of new solutions using waste/by-products, focusing on upcycling (the process of converting waste into new materials or products with greater added value). 

Union + Improvement in energy efficiency 

Continuous investment in more efficient production processes with less associated carbon emissions. 

Group (2) + Awareness and social engagement 

Including environmental education initiatives on the importance of forests and wood recycling, amongst other initiatives.
