Bracell operates mills in the Camaçari Industrial Park in Bahia and the Lençóis Paulista Industrial Park in São Paulo. The forestry operations supplying pulpwood to our mills are located in the states of São Paulo, Bahia and Sergipe. Water withdrawals are measured and potential risks and impacts are monitored within Bracell’s Integrated Management System, in accordance with applicable regulations (learn more in GRI 3-3 Management of the material topic Water and effluents and GRI 303).

Bracell actively monitors water withdrawal intensity (the ratio of water withdrawals for mill processes to net production output). In 2023, our water consumption intensity was 5.14 m3/ADT (average dry metric tons of pulp produced) in Bahia and 2.34 m3/ADT in São Paulo. Our Bahia mill produces dissolving pulp and specialty pulp, our most water-intensive products. The São Paulo mill, in turn, produces Kraft pulp, which is less water intensive.
