Brazil recycling and environmental incentive developments
Overview
In Brazil, consumer trends and legislative efforts are emerging to support recycling and environmental accountability. Initially, mobile applications began allowing consumers to convert tax receipts and purchase coupons into cashback. Some platforms, such as EcoPay, have specifically targeted the purchase of recyclable products with certified brands to identify demand patterns and combat greenwashing.
Following these consumer-led initiatives, legislative action has been proposed via Bill 3291/26 in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. The bill seeks to provide tax incentives, including discounts on Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL), for companies that purchase recyclable materials directly from registered waste picker cooperatives and associations. Proponents argue this measure will reduce the burden on urban waste systems and support the professionals responsible for a significant portion of the country’s recycling industry.
