GRI 103-2 and 103-3
Innovation and technological development are essential for the continuous improvement of the Campo Limpo System. For this, remember that Ecoplástica®, produced using recycled resin from empty packaging, and Ecocap®, a sealing system produced in the same way from recycling, are the result of technological developments of Campo Limpo Plastic Transformation and Recycling S.A. and of Campo Limpo Tampas e Resinas Plásticas Ltda. Both these recyclers were conceived by inpEV and became partners of the System.
A project that improves the Campo Limpo System traceability is an innovative line of work at inpEV.
But innovation does not only produce new products, it also improves processes and contributes towards the System becoming more efficient and, in the future, self-sufficient.
After adopting a strategic sourcing platform in 2018, which allowed the inpEV Procurement area to conduct product and services purchases in a more optimized and systematized fashion, in 2019 this department studied the feasibility of implementing a business intelligence tool (BI), which data analysis and collection can make decision-making even more precise. The implementation of this tool, which will be connected to the strategic sourcing platform, is planned for 2020.
Also in 2019, inpEV started a project to improve traceability. The expectation is for the materials processed at the stations to start having a bar code, QR Code or another similar solution, thus allowing information contained in this code to be processed in an automated fashion in the Central Offices Information System (SIC).
