To our customers, employees and associates:
As a company involved in the daily lives of our society, we recognize our responsibility to participate effectively in building a sustainable future.
We are changing the way we dispose of our waste, and we would like to inspire you.
We are aware that changing habits is not particularly easy, but we’d like to invite you to make this change with us. One action at a time, step by step towards a greener society.
We have launched our Ecoponto, a collecting facility located inside our parking lot.

Clean and correctly sorted out packaging increases how much the cooperatives that participate of the Ecoponto Quitanda project might benefit from the recyclables.
We offer a large line of proprietary products, made daily in our store, using our special recipes and the best ingredients, to offer tasty, healthy and easy options for our customers’ daily lives. All items in this line are presented in numerous types of packaging, from different materials.
Aiming not only to reduce the impact on the environment but also to value the work of waste pickers in the recycling cooperatives, we have taken up the challenge of making our packaging easier to recycle.
We are working hard to understand the recycling potential of each one of them, and we are committed to gradually replace those that have lower use in the recycling chain. The change has begun, we are replacing most of the hard to recycle materials with more viable ones, and also reducing the amount of adhesives and paint used in the pigmentation of some packages. We are aware of the enormous challenge ahead, but we will spare no effort to overcome it.
In the eyes of some, these changes may seem insignificant, but for us the impact on the environment is evident, and it also contributes enormously to our goal of becoming more and more sustainable.
Taking better care of our waste and reducing the impact of our operation on the environment is an old dream, which we are now addressing through the Recycle with Quitanda program.
And this is just the beginning … We intend to improve and increase its scope and representation over time. In this sense, the involvement and contribution of our community are fundamental.
Participate, promote, recycle.
