Waste Expo Brazil & Fenasan Water Expo - São Paulo, Brazil

To build a bridge for the Danish Companies to explore the market potential in the Brazilian Waste Management and Water Management sectors, the Confederation of Danish Industry and the Royal Danish Consulate General in São Paulo have partnered up to promote Market Development activities in Brazil, opening new opportunities for Danish companies.

The Brazilian Landscape

Waste management

• The Royal Danish Consulate General in São Paulo is working with the Secretariat for Climate Change in the city of São Paulo on a study to demonstrate Danish technologies in the organic waste management sector.
• Furthermore, the Royal Danish Consulate General in São Paulo is in close dialogue with municipalities such as Curitiba and Brasilia regarding Waste management contracts that are to be renewed in the coming years.
• The Danish Embassy in Brazil and different states, such as Rio de Janeiro and Paraná are discussing or have already established MoUs to incentivize the Waste Management sectors.
• Currently, the vast majority of urban waste generated in Brazil is sent to landfills with no pre-treatment of any sort. On the other hand, important policies have been implemented in the waste sector, such as Carbon credit for bio energy (RenovaBio), and regulation allowing biomethane into the natural gas grid.

Water solutions

• Less than 50% of the Brazilian population has access to a wastewater system.
• Major cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro suffer from pollution problems in their main water bodies. On the other hand, São Paulo has been implementing ambitious infrastructure projects to clean its rivers and provide better services.
• Recent regulation allowed private companies to provide water and wastewater services to cities, in the form of utility concession contracts.
• Such contracts forecast the improvement of services, including Circular economy projects in the WWTP (Waste Water Treatment Plant);
• Water contracts have been awarded to private entities in cities like Rio de Janeiro and Maceió.
