About the Program
The Camaçari Plant produces thermoplastic resins and is located in Camaçari, Brazil, approximately 25 miles north of the city of Salvador. It is situated in a region of Atlantic Forest that faces intense pressures of habitat loss and degradation due to human activity, while at the same time harboring extraordinary biodiversity and endemic species. Bayer’s Camaçari Plant team designed a project called Projeto Florescer ("Project Blossom") aimed at helping to reforest area on-site with native seedlings from their nursery and providing formal environmental education to local students and the wider community.
