Percentage of the used material originating from recycling


The only recycled material purchased by the BNDES was recycled paper. Two contracts were signed: one in April 2010 and another in August 2011. Both of them were the result of public bid procedure, as follows:

  • Recycled A4 paper in 2010: 28,800 reams
  • Recycled A4 paper in 2011: 15,360 reams

The reduction is due to the remaining balance from one year to the next.
