With over 10 years of operation in the region, APROJUR coordinates the cooperatives in the local production chain — Cooprojur, Coopavat, and Coopasat — driving operational efficiency, collective organization, and income generation for family farmers.
Alongside the Labor Cooperative of Waste Pickers of Capão Bonito (Acamar), we implemented an Environmental Education Center at the association's headquarters, located in the Vila Santa Isabel community, to increase public awareness about recycling and increase selective collection in the region.
