Circular Economy

Sustainability

We are progressively integrating circular economy principles, moving beyond traditional linear models to embrace closed-loop systems that reduce, reuse, recover, and recycle materials and energy. This strategic shift not only minimizes disposal, but also promotes value creation, unlocks new business opportunities, drives disruptive innovation, and strengthens the long-term resilience of our operations.

Over the last two decades, JBS has implemented a number of initiatives and launched new businesses to sustainably transform inedible byproducts produced in our operations into biodiesel, nutraceuticals, soaps, animal feed, and more. Packaging and organic waste generated during JBS processing is also transformed into new packaging for use at JBS operations and fertilizers for sale, respectively.
