60,000 people were forcibly displaced Compensation for residents was left with petrochemical company Braskem the biggest plastics manufacturer in the Americas But those affected complain that Braskem’s compensation program has been abusive lacking enough coverage and often forcing them to choose between low payments or no compensation at all Maceió’s salt deposits were discovered during a quest for oil in 1943 the city has been pierced by 35 mine shafts the deepest reaching up to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) below the surface The salt was first mined by Brazilian company Salgema One study from 2010 warned that higher underground pressure due to rock salt mining could cause the ground to sink while subsequent research warned that subsidence caused by rock salt mining could reach up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in parts of Maceió “The extraction of rock salt in Maceió has always been internally and externally monitored supervised by the competent public bodies and with all the necessary permits,” Braskem PR consultant Nicolas Tamasauskas said in an email to Mongabay Braskem stopped extracting and presented a permanent closure plan that was accepted by the national mining authorities.” have been declared unfit for habitation in the five suburbs More than 60,000 inhabitants were forced to leave their homes More than 4,500 people lost their businesses Thousands had to look for alternative jobs while Braskem was free to dominate the negotiations and establish derisory values.” Braskem reached a settlement with public prosecutors and in cooperation with the authorities launched the Financial Compensation and Relocation Support Program Braskem helps residents search for a new home pays for relocation and offers a temporary rental allowance of 1,000 reais ($200) per month Braskem works with so-called “facilitators,” who appraise properties assist with paperwork and eventually negotiate with residents the final value of their properties Compensation covers that value plus 40,000 reais ($7,822) for “moral damages.” On March 31, according to Braskem, 14,400 of the 14,500 properties in the crisis area had been vacated. The company had issued 19,129 compensation proposals, of which 18,256 were accepted The company has allocated a budget of 14.4 billion reais ($2.8 billion) to deal with the disaster It already spent 9.2 billion reais ($1.8 billion) some two-thirds of which was paid as compensation for damage to private and public properties The remainder mainly concerned the process of closing the mines “There were no negotiations,” said Alexandre de Moraes Sampaio president of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Victims of Mining in Maceió then it turns silent for six months before you hear from them again.” Sampaio owned a real estate agency and a small marketing company in Pinheiro while his wife had a psychological practice Pinheiro was the first Maceió neighborhood to experience cracking and degradation in 2018 Braskem offered them one payment for all three entities but it was a ridiculously low amount,” Sampaio told Mongabay but it was still nothing compared to my real losses he lives some 100 km (62 mi) south of Maceió where he has managed to revitalize his real estate firm Most victims found themselves in a weak negotiating position as they had been forced to leave their properties Ferreira also negotiated for three years to receive compensation for her Bebedouro home “It was shameful what Braskem offered,” she said Braskem offered a sum that amounted to not even half the property’s value which made it very hard to find something similar elsewhere.” damages related to the mining disaster have been reduced to “land and stones,” as Braskem pays the bare minimum for properties “The compensation for moral damages is a mere pittance,” he said “Braskem … should pay a higher amount to every victim Sampaio said that the 1.7 billion reais ($332 million) compensation Braskem paid the Maceió municipality was below par as it did not account for things as lost income from taxes and lost utilities and infrastructure “Braskem arguably should have paid four times more,” he said Damages exist even outside the disaster zone The difference between what is considered safe and uninhabitable is at times only a street wide A restaurant or company located safely “across the street” that lost half its market due to the relocation of 60,000 people receives nothing “Insurance companies no longer insure properties in a radius of 1 km [0.6 mi] around the designated disaster zone,” Sampoio said some 40,000 dwellings lost 30% of their value In December 2023, Intercept Brasil unveiled a leaked compensation agreement the signatory is not allowed to disclose the amount of compensation all property deeds must be handed over to Braskem the chemical company today owns 99% of the disaster area People in Maceió fear that Braskem aims to turn the disaster into an opportunity for future development He pointed at an agreement signed by Braskem and the Maceió municipality which states the former “will not build in uninhabitable areas for housing or commercial purposes And a change in ownership will not change that.” Brazilian construction giant Novonor is Braskem’s majority owner, followed by Petrobras. Formerly known as Odebrecht, Novonor is in talks with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to sell its Braskem stake for an estimated $2 billion A third clause in the contract states that no one can sue Braskem on the outcome of a current or future investigation a parliamentary inquiry into Braskem’s handling of the mining disaster was launched eleven victims sued Braskem in the Dutch city of Rotterdam where the firm’s European head office and two financial holdings are based The claimants demand that Braskem will be held liable for the disaster and needs to pay for damages “Braskem’s financial compensation program has been criticized for failing to hold Braskem liable for the disaster it caused,” said Bruna Ficklscherer the British law firm representing the eleven victims Ficklscherer confirmed that people affected by the disaster yet located outside the designated disaster zone have had no opportunity to receive compensation health services and transportation have deteriorated in the neighborhoods surrounding the risk area Braskem tried to have the case dismissed by arguing the Dutch court lacked jurisdiction on the grounds that the company has financial entities and its European head office in Rotterdam Braskem consistently referred to the mining disaster as “the geological event,” while it presented the compensation program as the most beneficial possible The eleven claimants argued the exact opposite The Dutch court is expected to issue a verdict in towards the end of the year a rupture occurred in Braskem’s mine 18 in the neighborhood of Mutange part of the suburb had subsided by almost 2 m (6.6 ft) the authorities declared a state of emergency Braskem’s bulldozers have razed the neighborhood to the ground Many of the walls still standing in Bebedouro sadness and disaster,” one reads;

What happened? AI is just as overconfident and biased as humans can be, study shows News & Analysis on Food & Beverage Development & Technology 18-Nov-2022 Last updated on 18-Nov-2022 at 15:15 GMT After five years of R&D at its Bebedouro site in Brazil, Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) has developed sugar reduction technology for not-from-concentrate (NFC) orange juice. According to Juan José Banchard, Global Head of Juice at LDC, the new product represents ‘another positive step’ in the company’s strategy to ‘diversify revenue through value-added products’. The sugar reduction technology was developed by a team of food engineers, chemists, and biotechnologists. But its achievement does not lie in sugar reduction alone. The product meets four important aspects, a LDC spokesperson explained: sugar reduction, higher fibre content, maintenance of the main characteristics of standard organic juice – especially the taste and vitamin C content – and lastly, scalability. This is all achieved thanks to an enzyme, the spokesperson revealed. “There is no use of sweeteners, inulin, or other ingredients.” The result is a NFC orange juice with 30% less sugar and more than triple the dietary fibre content, to add to company’s portfolio of juices and ingredients from Brazilian-grown citrus fruits. As to whether the technology could be used in other applications, the spokesperson told us LDC is able to produce ‘large volumes’ of reduced sugar products to meet its customers’ needs. “The technology…is more suitable for not-from-concentrate orange juice. However, in addition, we are exploring ways to further reduce the level of sugar in orange juice and apply to process to other fruit juices.” LDC said the innovation aligns with its commitment to offer ‘nutritious, high-quality juices’ that address growing consumer demand. Indeed, sugar reduction has become a macro health trend among consumers. According to Euromonitor research, consumers are increasingly citing sugar reduction as one of their top health priorities, particularly when it comes to weight management. More than half (53%) of consumers in the global market intelligence firm’s 2021 Voice of the Consumer: Health and Nutrition Survey, cited ‘eat less sugar’ as their preferred method of weight loss. LDC plans to bring its new product to market in collaboration with ‘leading beverage industry players’. “Our initial commercial focus is on growing Asia Pacific consumer markets, including a launch in China early 2023, where panel testing indicated strong interest from Asian consumers,” the spokesperson revealed. “But we also see market opportunities in North America, Europe and South America, where we see strong demand for healthy, nutritious and tasty products.” At the same time, LDC will continue to continue to invest in R&D activities, targeting further reductions in sugar content.
