EMISSIONS QUANTIFICATION AND CARBON NEUTRALIZATION
Emissions will be quantified based on the GHG Protocol, the main international methodology for corporate inventories, and offset through VERRA-certified carbon credits from the Envira Amazônia Project – an initiative that protects the native forest in Acre through the REDD+ mechanism.
THIS FAIR IS BEING CARBON FREE
By adopting reliable and traceable credits, Naturaltech contributes to:
- The preservation of the Amazon rainforest, with a measurable environmental impact;
- Strengthening the social development of local communities and indigenous peoples;
- Climate change mitigation, with an annual reduction of more than 463,000 tCO₂.
In addition to neutralizing emissions, Naturaltech will also contribute to planting native trees in degraded areas of the Atlantic Forest – through the environmental cashback program promoted by Carbon Free Brasil.
This commitment to a low climate impact event is recognized by the Carbon Free® Seal, the official certification for effectively offset emissions.
selective collection and waste management
For almost two decades, we have been carrying out structured work on selective collection and waste management from events, a practice that has always reinforced Francal Feiras’ concern with reducing the environmental impacts of major events such as BIO BRAZIL FAIR | BIOFACH AMERICA LATINA and NATURALTECH.
While the event is taking place, the Central do Tietê cooperative sorts the waste. From there, the material goes directly to a warehouse owned by the organization. The dumpsters and composting are handled by the company Multilixo.
On-site waste sorting is carried out during fairs through a partnership with LC Almeida Ambiental.
Specialized professionals responsible for logistics, monitor and track all waste generated in the following phases:
All recyclable material is donated to recycling cooperatives.
Sustainability in action at the fair
During the four days of the Bio Brazil Fair and Naturaltech 2025, in an unprecedented action at the fairs, we will have a recycling plant in operation inside the pavilion, showing live how to transform plastic waste into new objects. Come and visit this educational activity and learn about selective collection and the reuse of waste.
In partnership with eureciclo and Tetra Pak, all recyclable waste will be correctly disposed of by cooperatives, with environmental compensation for the packaging and the results being announced at the end of the event.
Exhibitor, participate!
Separate your waste at the stand and actively contribute to this transformation. Let’s show the real impact of sustainable actions together!

DURING THE FAIRS WE DISCLOSE THE BRANDS WITH THE VIVA VERDE SEAL FOR YOU TO VISIT!
together we can go further
In addition to the list of suggested best practices that is part of the Exhibitor Manual, this is another initiative by Francal Feiras to engage and highlight exhibitors committed to holding more sustainable events!
We know that our exhibitors’ products and services are the stars of the event, but they are also committed to visitors and the planet.
For an exhibitor to earn the VIVA VERDE SEAL, they need to adopt a series of criteria in their space. Our team visits the booth installation between the last day of assembly and the first day of the fair to check whether the company has adopted these criteria.
And what does the
VIVA VERDE SEAL represent?
It is the result of the exhibitors’ commitment
We analyze:
- Minimum waste
- Minimum waste
- Mechanisms that facilitate collection and recycling
- Utensils used to support demonstrations and tastings
