Klabin donates corrugated board cribs to social action in Camaragibe

Klabin donated 100 cribs made of corrugated board to the Escola Internacional de Aldeia (Pernambuco), which is implementing a social project in partnership with the Amigos da Rua Institute (IAR) in the city of Camaragibe in Pernambuco. The initiative aims to distribute cribs and layettes to homeless mothers and babies.

Portable, easy to assemble and with an aesthetic appeal that is reminiscent of the children’s universe, the corrugated board cribs were designed by the packaging engineering area at Klabin’s Goiana Unit exclusively for this initiative.  Suitable for babies aged up to three months or weighing up to six kilos, the cribs must not come in contact with water and intense heat sources in order to retain their structural characteristics.

Klabin’s support to the project will help newborns from 100 families, besides underscoring the company’s commitment to causes that benefit the communities in the regions where the company operates.Klabin has been operating in the city of Goiana in Pernambuco since 1973 through its industrial unit, which produces recycled papers, corrugated board packaging and industrial bags, and employs over 1,100 people.
