Web-Resol Tudo sobre Limpeza Urbana e Resíduos Sólidos!
Canon released an eco-friendly model of its office-use multi-functional color printer, "iR C3200N-R". The model is largely composed of reused parts, accounting for 83 percent of its weight. Applying advanced recycling technologies to used components under strict quality controls, Canon has succeeded in maintaining comparable levels of reliability and performance in this model as in products made of new materials.
The company has successfully reduced the environmental impact of the manufacturing process by more than 76 per cent. It has introduced original recycling technologies, such as "blast washing", to reuse exterior components, while maintaining high quality. Owing to these efforts, the model meets the standards required by the Law on Promoting Green Purchasing.
The model is an all-in-one device for copying, printing, scanning and faxing, with an output speed of 32 pages per minute (A4, horizontal) in color or black-and-white.

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%. From an economic standpoint, both recyclable materials and organic waste hold tremendous value - stated Adalberto Maluf, National Secretary for Environment and Environmental Quality at the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), during the Methane Forum: Climate Emergency Brake, at the Rio Nature and Climate Week. Citing a 2025 report, Maluf mentioned that Brazil literally throws away R$27 billion annually, while municipalities spend significantly more - R$45 billion - managing all this waste, often overlooking the environmental impact or economic potential buried in landfills and dumps. - We spend R$45 billion to collect and dispose of waste in landfills, yet we manage to recycle less than a third of the potential. I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling. There, received materials are sorted and can be used for biogas production, organic compounds for urban gardens, or human consumption, in the case of still...
