The Solar Butterfly is traveling from Brasília to Palmas using only solar power.

A quiet journey through the heart of Brazil, showing how clean energy can take us forward.

How can the waste of a multimillion city like Rio de Janeiro be recycled?

Look at this great example, the Coperativa Coopideal. It is a cooperative of recyclable waste pickers located in Rio de Janeiro.

It has been supported by BVRio through a training project aimed at improving the cooperative’s management and infrastructure.

The project is sustainable and pioneering, as it formalizes and digitizes waste management, increases efficiency in recycling operations and strengthens the circular economy.

It is also generating social, environmental and economic benefits for both the cooperative members and the wider community.

We hope a lot more cities all over the world can follow this great example!
