São Paulo, August 29, 2018 - Rhodia, a company of the Solvay Group, and Pertech, a leading Latin American decorative laminates company, have decided to jointly support the second edition of Mostra+Sustentável in Campinas. The event will take place from August 29 to October 7 at the Dr. Cândido Ferreira Health Service in Sousas, Campinas (SP).
Conceived by engineer Fernando Caparica, Mostra+Sustentável is an architecture and decoration event with a collaborative nature. Its objective is to leave a positive social legacy, generate good business for the professionals and companies involved, and disseminate sustainable concepts and attitudes in the daily lives of its visitors.
The entire renovation and revitalization are done for the benefit of the institution hosting the event, and the proceeds from ticket sales contribute to this cause.
In the 2018 edition, Mostra+Sustentável encompasses 42 spaces at the Dr. Cândido Ferreira Health Service, spread across four blocks in an area of 3,000m², with 2,000m² of built area and 1,000m² of landscaping. The guiding theme for the creations of the exhibiting professionals was the concept of an eco-chic inn, gaining popularity by adopting environmental consciousness without compromising beauty, quality, and comfort. While the exhibitors had creative freedom, they adhered to the Condepacc (Council for the Defense of the Heritage of Campinas) guidelines, which regulate physical interventions in the case of protected heritage/facades.
Pertech and Rhodia contributed to the installation of a special space designed by architect Roseana Monteiro in partnership with architect Elton Casarin and interior designer Vani Mazoni. In this location, flooring and coatings from Pertech's high-pressure decorative laminate line, produced using resins, including Rhodia's phenolic resin manufactured in Paulínia, in the metropolitan region of Campinas, were installed.
These decorative laminates consist of multiple layers of overlapping kraft paper and decorative paper, impregnated with resins. Pressed under high pressure and temperature, they result in a highly resistant and personalized laminate. With a wide range of applications, from the furniture industry to construction, it is an alternative that provides longevity to various projects, offering features such as resistance to moisture, salt air, scratches, stains, non-proliferation of bacteria and termites, heat resistance, and vapor resistance, among others.
In the space supported by Pertech and Rhodia, named SUSTENTALKS, a series of lectures and discussions on sustainability will take place, featuring renowned professionals from various fields of knowledge, such as architecture, design, construction, gastronomy, and fashion. The goal is to raise awareness among Mostra visitors about the need to enhance sustainability in people's daily lives.
Participation in SUSTENTALKS is free for Mostra visitors. To attend the lectures and discussions, a Passport ticket must be purchased. The complete SUSTENTALKS schedule is available at http://mostrasustentavel.com.br/sustentalks.html.
According to Solvay's Vice President of Phenol and Derivatives, Antonio Leite, the support for Mostra+Sustentável aligns with the company's growth strategy. "Sustainability is a central pillar of our operations. Wherever we maintain industrial and commercial activities, we value responsible resource use, engage with communities, and invest in the development of innovative technologies and products that help improve people's daily lives," he stated.
For Pertech's President, Edevaldo Sabaine, contributing to Mostra+Sustentável is important given the event's goals of increasing people's awareness of sustainability in all its dimensions. "This is a current world need, and we are committed, along with our suppliers and customers, to forming a Sustainable Chain in obtaining our final product," he said. According to him, Pertech has been working continuously to produce the best solutions in coatings for environments that meet various sustainable, cultural, economic, and social requirements.
Both leaders emphasized that the companies' contribution should be seen as a legacy of Mostra+Sustentável for the Dr. Cândido Ferreira Health Service and society as a whole.
