(ANS – Pindamonhangaba) – On Friday 16 August the exact replica of the modest house where St John Bosco spent his childhood was inaugurated in Pindamonhangaba The event brought together more than a hundred people This building has the mission of being an educational space that inspires young people with the values of joy friendship and faith that marked the life of St John Bosco The reproduction of the house in which Don Bosco lived his first years of life is a powerful symbol especially because it was the scene of the famous Dream at Nine Years of age The Rector of the Salesian presence in Pindamonhangaba stating: "For us this environment is not only a place to remember Don Bosco But we really want it to be a place that strengthens Don Bosco's charism his love for God and his love for young people." Superior of the Salesian Province of Sao Paulo stressing that "on this day when we celebrate the 209th birthday of Don Bosco here in the Salesian Province of Sao Paolo will be a centre from which the Salesian charism radiates adolescents and young people will be able to find inspiration for their dreams." the Dream at Nine Years of age was reenacted Fr Alexandre Luís de Oliveira presided over the Mass The inauguration of Casa Don Bosco in Pindamonhangaba was not only a tribute to the past reaffirming the Salesian mission to transform the lives of young people through education and faith ANS - “Agenzia iNfo Salesiana” is a on-line almost daily publication the communication agency of the Salesian Congregation enrolled in the Press Register of the Tibunal of Rome as n 153/2007 This site also uses third-party cookies to improve user experience and for statistical purposes By scrolling through this page or by clicking on any of its elements Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information Reporting and polling by Gabriel Burin; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.

the outskirts of Bananal in 2015Illustration: Pindamonhangaba Jean-Baptiste Debret | Photo: Eduardo Cesar “The region is becoming increasingly mountainous The road is flanked by very dense virgin forest; in some places it is becoming quite rough and difficult to negotiate” – Saint-Hilaire a businessman from the Brazilian city of Bananal found it strange when he spotted from his car a fiftyish gray-haired man who looked like a foreigner The man had climbed up a steep bank and was holding onto a shrub at the entrance to Silva’s small farm on Tropeiros Highway a French botanist from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris had only climbed up the bank to collect a specimen from a plant that had caught his attention It was nine o’clock on the morning of June 9 the first day of an expedition to trace the São Paulo portion of a trip that French naturalist Auguste de Saint-Hilaire made to the area in March and April of 1822 EDUARDO CESARIn the field: Gaglioti collects branches from a tree…EDUARDO CESAR Four botanists spent five days perusing sites on the border between the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the São Paulo metropolitan region—some of which had changed considerably while others still looked preserved when compared with Saint-Hilaire’s records published in the book Segunda viagem do Rio de Janeiro a Minas Gerais e a São Paulo [Second trip from Rio de Janeiro to Minas Gerais and São Paulo] In many cases the changes were significant but neither Saint-Hilaire nor the botanists on the June expedition yielded to nostalgia Although he was fascinated by the tropical flora the French naturalist anticipated that the forests might disappear and give way to progress and civilization “He thought about development alternatives for Brazil and he had a utilitarian view of space,” says Sérgio Romaniuc Neto a researcher at the Botanical Institute of São Paulo and leader of the expedition When the virtual herbarium went online in 1990 who coordinates the museum’s virtual collection began to plan trips to retrace the routes taken by the French naturalist will take them from France to northern São Paulo State Just before he reached the entrance to the Joana D’Arc farm as the field work began Romaniuc stopped on the side of the road to peruse the landscape but it’s not primary anymore,” he explained pointing to one of the stands of trees amidst pastures and areas of eucalyptus and bamboo but they too are part of the secondary vegetation “It looks like there are no native species anymore,” Pignal said as he came down from an embankment “Maybe none have been introduced,” comments Marc Jeanson coordinator of the French national herbarium at the museum in Paris as he collects a branch from a shrub of the genus Mimosa Dotted along the edges of the road and the forests were many simple yellow flowers of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) of no importance to the botanists—“a sign of plant globalization,” Jeanson points out The forest they were examining occupied what is now a defunct coffee plantation because it was already there in the 1950s when his family bought the land “It’s still preserved just like it was,” he added Eduardo Cesar… pressing the specimens…Eduardo Cesar Diversity Before continuing on to the city Silva walked over to a neighboring farm and pointed to a river It was almost completely covered over by Surinam grass an exotic species adopted as cattle feed because of its low cost but now they’re gone.” On that day and the next Romaniuc saw rivers that Saint-Hilaire had described as generous in size now transformed into timid streams covered by earth that slides down from the hills which are more susceptible to erosion because of the pastures as he approached what was then the village of Bananal on his way from Minas Gerais to Rio de Janeiro anxious to return to Paris because of his ailing mother The road is flanked by very dense virgin forest.” Nearly 200 years later the botanists confirmed that the mountains are clearly still standing “We’ve lost biodiversity due to uncontrolled agricultural development which has swept aside any concern about environmental balance,” said Romaniuc late on the morning of the first day “We can’t imagine Saint-Hilaire at time zero,” observed Pignal who has been traveling to Brazil since 1993 and was in the city of Salvador the previous week sugarcane and grazing.” When he arrived in the town of Areias Saint-Hilaire noted the diversity of the landscape: “This intermixture of coffee plantations these small dwellings surrounded by black people’s shacks and groups of travelers coming and going—together lend this region the appearance of great variety.” on an embankment with JeansonEduardo Cesar Saint-Hilaire arrived in Rio de Janeiro in the company of the French ambassador in 1816 and before coming to this region he had previously traveled around the states of Rio Other Europeans were also exploring Brazil on their own expeditions during that time Botanist Carl Friedrich von Martius and zoologist Johann von Spix explored extensively from São Paulo to Amazonas from 1817 to 1820 Russian-German Baron Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff traveled through several states with a team of 39 including a botanist Saint-Hilaire explored the countryside of Minas Gerais with Langsdorff indefatigable man I’ve ever met in my life I learned to travel without wasting a single instant to subject myself to all manner of hardships and to suffer cheerfully through every kind of discomfort” some of which are protected by the Serra da Bocaina National Park A large wolf apple André Luiz Gaglioti a botanist studying several plant groups from Saint-Hilaire’s collection as part of his postdoctoral research at São Paulo State University (Unesp) used the opportunity of a layover with the group to investigate a pasture behind the farm/hotel where they were staying “I saw on Google Earth that there’s a forest over here,” he said He was disappointed at first when he found that the forest consisted mostly of bamboo and had no scientific interest they came across a strip of forest alongside a tank that holds water for cattle but it should have some interesting things.” There they found a tree from the botanical family Anacardiaceae It looked typical of the region—and therefore was probably a native species—so they collected a branch for more detailed identification in the laboratory they collected parts of a shrub known as a wolf apple (Solanum lycocarpum) inexplicably much taller and with larger fruit than the shrubs of the same species in the Cerrado savannah of central Brazil The collected plants were organized at the end of each day placed between newspaper pages and pressed between sheets of cardboard They would later be identified in the laboratory and compared with the ones collected by Saint-Hilaire to give a comparative look at the species in that area 193 years ago versus today the botanists’ preliminary analysis confirmed that they had found an earpod tree (Enterolobium contortisiliquum) a candeia (Moquiniastrum polymorphum) and a shortleaf fig (Ficus guaranitica) Cattley guava (Psidium cattleianum) or Brazilian sassafras (Ocotea odorífera) all typical of the Atlantic Forest and reported by Saint-Hilaire and this reinforced their hypothesis on loss of biodiversity Eduardo CesarA preserved spot: the church of Nossa Senhora da Escada Saint-Hilaire accumulated nearly 2,000 species of birds the French naturalist was the first to describe yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) he published the three-volume book Flora Brasiliae Meredionalis in which he described the plants he had collected in Brazil An unexpected forest Late on the first day the botanists unexpectedly identified a preserved strip of forest on a hill next to the highway from Bananal to the nearby city of São José do Barreiro “It’s similar to the ones that covered the hills and valleys in this region 200 years ago,” Romaniuc said “Over there in the middle is a Cecropia hololeuca a tree that grows in mature ombrophilous (rain-loving) forests and down here near the road there’s a Cecropia pachystachya which is typical of areas that have been undergone more change.” The former species is also called silver cecropia The two trees stood out in the forest because of their thin trunks and leaves shaped like an open hand Eduardo CesarFlower and fruit of a wolf apple shrub (Solanum lycocarpum)Eduardo Cesar they reached the well-preserved forests of the municipality of Pouso Alto a rare tree species of the Urticacea family with flowers simpler than those of the nearby species Saint-Hilaire arrived in Pouso Alto on March 12 having sent an assistant ahead of him to introduce himself to the comandante so it was the vicar who examined his documents and then proceeded to take leave without offering the desired resting place “So we were obliged to seek out a secluded corner in a small shop where they gave me a filthy room full of fleas At night we witnessed a tremendous brawl between mulattos,” he wrote Nor did the children escape his ethnological perspective Upon passing through the town of Taubaté on March 26 he wrote: “In nearly every house one can see children who are quite beautiful but that changes by the time they reach the age of 12 to 15; by then they are thin and sickly-looking no doubt from a poor diet and unhealthy or insufficient food.” a professor at the University of Mogi das Cruzes a 5,300-hectare (53 square-kilometer) forested area partially occupied by farmers and residents of outlying neighborhoods they traveled around the outskirts of Mogi das Cruzes under a light rain “This area still has many elements of the original biodiversity but they are losing out to expansion by the outlying neighborhoods,” Romaniuc observed Eduardo CesarRed cecropia (Cecropia glaziovii)Eduardo Cesar The next stop was at the church of Nossa Senhora da Escada which had been an Indian settlement before the time of Saint-Hilaire’s visit “There are so few left here today that I haven’t seen a single one in either the city or the surrounding areas,” he wrote He was also struck by the poverty of the place: “Most of the houses are built around a square and you can tell how poor it is from the fact that I asked for sugarcane rum at several shops and had no success.” The main square is still there and is surrounded by houses that no longer have the look of poverty Romaniuc asked several people if they knew anything about the river behind the church No one had heard anything about the river; it had been covered over and the site was occupied by several houses “Saint-Hilaire said he had immense difficulty obtaining information from the residents of the places he found,” he said the botanists returned to São Paulo along a road that was bucolic and tree-lined in the times of Saint-Hilaire but is now completely urbanized—a wide avenue that cuts through the outskirts of Mogi then opens onto an extensive slum area to the right as you come into Guaianazes the first São Paulo neighborhood encountered from that direction Project Saint-Hilaire Virtual

March 2023 - The Salesian Youth Ministry of the Brazil-Sao Paulo Province (BSP) organized the 8th edition of the "Acampabosco" event in Pindamonhangaba from various regions of São Paulo State were able to experience the spirit of community and family exchange of experiences and religious celebrations "This is a beautiful courtyard where young people can come together It is important that young people are helped to confront themselves - Don Bosco himself did that," concluded Fr the Salesian community of Pindamonhangaba hosted the fourth edition of "AcampaBosco" a project carried out by the Salesian Youth Ministry of the Province of São Paulo (BSP) members of the Salesian Youth Movement Provincial Council (SYM) and young people from various communities of the BSP Province The objective of “AcampaBosco” is to promote the protagonism and leadership of the young people in Salesian communities welcomed Steinert to talk about the company’s development He emphasized their investment in state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure having implemented an integrated system of collection and smelting of scrap aluminium cans since 1991 With 4 smelting plants and a processing capacity of more than 300 thousand tons of aluminium per year Latasa Reciclagem stands out as the largest aluminium recycling company in the country its diversified product portfolio serves various industries Steinert visited the site in Pindamonhangaba to learn more about Latasa’s journey of innovation and technology which has been undertaken with the aim of recycling 100% of the aluminium processed Steinert Eddy separates non-ferrous metals the Steinert KSS | XT LI (left) sorts into pure furnace-ready aluminium Latasa uses a process known as “Garimpeiro Urbano” (Urban Mining) which represent 96.07% of the country’s aluminium can generation This initiative involves 22 non-ferrous metal collection centres working together with local suppliers of recyclable material Latasa’s final production follows the current Aluminium Scrap Classification Table which lists the names and characteristics of 20 types of scrap material identified in the domestic market The Aluminium Scrap Classification Table was prepared by ABAL (Brazilian Aluminium Association) and follows recommendations from the Institute of Scrap Recycling (ISRI) multinational aluminium manufacturing company approached Latasa looking for a new type of scrap material to work with Taint/Tabor is described as clean mixed old alloy sheet aluminium To generate the required high purities of the desired products that can separate different aluminium qualities “When we got to the stage that involves cleaning the scrap we already knew about magnetic separators (of various types) it was not just cleaning that was required but separating the scrap by different densities or by type of chemical composition That’s when we turned to Google and found Steinert where we discovered several types of equipment and the one that interested us the most was the X-ray” explains Latasa’s plant manager José Garcia the first tests were carried out with Taint/Tabor scrap The results met the expectations of the equipment that Latasa and Novelis needed The partnership with Steinert was consolidated and the Taint/Tabor Processing Line was inaugurated at Latasa Recycling Plant 1 with the implementation of Steinert KSS | XT LI Pure aluminium leaves the Steinert KSS | XT LI for smelting For the processing of all types of collected materials and with the aim of achieving pure and furnace-ready aluminium Latasa makes use of an automated plant with Steinert separation technologies in operation The Latasa plant in Pindamonhangaba operates: § Steinert UME – Overbelt magnet for the separation of ferrous metals from aluminium scrap § Steinert EddyC – Eddy current separator to clean the non-ferrous metals from non-metallic residues § Steinert KSS | XT LI (X-ray transmission + 3D laser + inductive sensors) – Sorting System with a combination of sensors that separates impurities from aluminium and produces furnace-ready aluminium With input material received from different collection sources the mechanical processing begins with two stages of shredding the material fractions are screened into different particle sizes the material undergoes the separation processes passing first the Steinert UME for the separation of ferrous materials and then onto the separation of non-ferrous metals from non-metallic residues with the Steinert EddyC eddy current separator The material produced by the eddy current separator is forwarded for selection and separation with the Steinert KSS of clean aluminium from other materials (remaining heavy metals) using the Steinert KSS sensor combination technology (X-ray transmission + 3D laser + induction) Material that has paint is subjected to a process called decoating and the paint-free material is ready to be melted The use of an automated plant and advanced technologies demonstrates Latasa’s commitment to adopting sustainable practices and maximizing the recovery of valuable materials during the aluminium recycling process A study of the company’s process and tests were carried out at the Steinert Latinoamericana Test Center in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte and the choice of the most suitable technology were also analysed The result was that Steinert’s Combined Sensor Sorting was found to be the best solution With the implementation of Steinert KSS | XT LI technology Latasa has made a leap forward in innovation and efficiency in its process of separating and recovering aluminium and valuable materials Final aluminium made from recycling material This technology is applied to maximize the recovery of earnings giving maximum value to each product and reducing the amount of waste material “The big difference is the ability to perform unique separation for each material to meet the needs of each customer We have great flexibility in creating a product according to the application that the customer is seeking which would only be the physical preparation of the material with the corresponding granulometry for use in the equipment This is the key differentiator: having low operating costs and delivering such high flexibility to the customer allowing them to choose several applications” guarantees Vinícius Souto – Managing Director of STEINERT Latinoamericana Making operational costs feasible and facilitating the sorting of different materials under different criteria in a single piece of equipment the use of STEINERT KSS was the step Latasa was looking for to innovate in the sector and further improve its processes Steinert has enjoyed a consolidated partnership with Latasa since 2019 We believe in the potential of applying separation technology to improve aluminium recycling consolidating significant gains in the sector and outlining plans for the future Steinert Latinoamericana maintains close contact and reliable face-to-face and/or remote support for customer needs This proximity and commitment ensure assertiveness in planning and the results achieved Thinking about the future and further improving its results Latasa aims to invest in the innovation and automation of other plants Latasa demonstrates a solid commitment to sustainability and plays an important role in the production chain in the aluminium recycling sector We are proud of this partnership and proud to work together promoting the circular economy and the reduction of environmental impacts caused by primary
