The Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Mato Grosso (MPMT) has launched the ‘Journey towards the Zero Waste Seal’ in Várzea Grande. This initiative is part of the ‘MPMT Sustainable Program’ and follows similar implementations in Cuiabá and at the Attorney General's Office.

The program utilizes five indicators from the Zero Waste Brazil Institute: reduction and reuse, education and awareness, recycling, composting, and social actions. Implementation in Várzea Grande involves waste monitoring, awareness campaigns, and environmental education. Assistant Prosecutor General Anne Karine Louzich Hugueney Wiegert noted that success depends on individual commitment to changing daily habits.
