Klabin Donates Corrugated Board Cribs to Homeless Mothers, Babies

Klabin, Brazil, has 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 up to three months of age 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 more than 1,100 people.

Klabin is the largest producer and exporter of paper for packaging in Brazil, its only company offering one-stop solutions in hardwood, softwood, and fluff pulp, and the leader in corrugated board packaging and industrial bags. Founded in 1899, it has 17 industrial units in Brazil and one in Argentina.
