We have an absorption system, where we make the air conditioning of all the productive areas and heat 50 m³ of water at 50 degrees centigrade per hour - Spray Absorption, reduces about 1400 CV of consumption in the engine room and reduces the need to burn firewood for producing steam and heating water. We also have a system for collecting rainwater and water from the internal asphalt. This water is taken to the lagoon and reduces the need for water abstraction of the river in the equivalence of 01 month per year according to the region's annual rainfall level. We do specific treatment of the water after treatment of the effluent, with chlorination and filtration and this water is used for washing trucks, pens and sidewalks.
Alegra suggests joy, happiness, contentment, and the meaning of this name must lend itself to positive associations in the sense of well-being and taste. An easy-to-remember name that sounds well to the ear, whose repetition of the vowel "a" at the beginning and end of the word follows the technique used by other major brands in the market, with a soft sonority, non-aggressive and and easy “catchy” in people's ears.
Alegra products are already present in almost 2,500 points of sale spread throughout Paraná, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, soon arriving in the entire Northeast and South of the country.
