Ocho Sur’s crude palm oil extraction plant, called Servicios Agrarios de Pucallpa (SAP) started in February 2020. The design of SAP takes the circular economy to heart, with every factory input being utilized from the Palm fruit husk to water.
Our water treatment and recycling plant has allowed us to achieve an 85.8% recycling rate of water in 2023 through its reuse in our industrial process, as well as for secondary irrigation use after being microbiologically treated. We have recycled over 500,000 cubic meters of water for irrigation in our fields since 2021. With this water, we have been able to consistently irrigate 68 hectares per year!
