General Director – Rafael Barros
“In 2025, Guarulhos Sucatas reached a new level of maturity.
Throughout this cycle, we have consolidated our role as urban miners: a company dedicated to the recovery, transformation and maximization of value from materials already present in the urban environment.
We believe in recycling not only as an economic activity but as a strategic driver of industrial transformation. We remain committed to consistently generating economic, environmental, and social value and to leading by example toward the future we advocate for and know is drawing ever closer.”
