Loga - Logística Ambiental de São Paulo

What Loga - Logística Ambiental de São Paulo does

Loga - Logística Ambiental de São Paulo S.A. is a privately held waste management concessionaire founded in 2004 that operates under a 20-year concession contract (Contract No. 027/SSO/04, renewed in 2024) with the Municipality of São Paulo to provide integrated urban cleaning services for the Northwest grouping of the city. The company collects, transports, treats, and provides final disposal for household waste and healthcare service waste, handling approximately 6,000 tonnes per day from 1.6 million households, 7 million residents across 13 sub-prefectures, and 13,500 healthcare establishments. Service lines include common door-to-door collection, selective recyclables collection, mechanized surface and underground container collection (800+ containers deployed), specialized community collection for low-access areas, and dedicated healthcare waste collection.

The company's core infrastructure comprises five operational units (Jaguaré HQ, Vila Maria, Ponte Pequena transfer station with a 250 tonnes/day Central Mechanized Sorting facility, the CTRSS Marcus Silva Araujo autoclave health waste treatment plant, and the closed Bandeirantes and Vila Albertina landfills under environmental monitoring) and roughly 300 pieces of equipment. The CTRSS is described as one of the largest autoclave-based infectious health waste treatment plants in Latin America, with negative pressure, 15x/hour air exchange, ozone odor treatment, and natural gas steam generation. Loga is part of the Solví group, with Revita Engenharia S.A. controlling 62.347% of the equity.

The business model is a regulated tariff-based concession: Loga bills the Municipality of São Paulo a monthly tariff that incorporates operating costs plus required capex, and the company makes its capital available to the market via B3-listed debt instruments (R$200 million in commercial notes and R$200 million in Green Bond debentures issued in 2025). The announced Ecoparque Bandeirantes project (planned 2,530 tonnes/day capacity, with sorting, biodigestion, composting, energy recovery, and a 2.5 MW solar farm) represents a forward step into circular economy and energy revenue. Environmental education and community programs (Ecoeducação, IAJA, Ecomóvel, Comunidade Limpa) serve as both compliance drivers and soft-power tools supporting the long-term social license to operate. The company employs 2,500+ people and reports no public market listing.

Revenue model

1. Urban Cleaning Concession Contract: Loga generates revenue primarily through a tariff-based concession contract with the Municipality of São Paulo. The contract incorporates operational costs and necessary investments including transfer stations, treatment units, sorting centers, and new equipment acquisition and maintenance. This is the core revenue stream.
2. Commercial Notes and Debentures Issuance: Loga has raised capital through multiple debt issuances including a R$200 million commercial notes issuance, a Second Issuance of Simple Debentures (SPO Green Seal), and Second Issuance of Commercial Paper. These are listed on B3 (BM&FBovespa).
3. Energy Recovery and Circular Economy: Future revenue from the Ecoparque Bandeirantes project, which includes an Energy Recovery Unit (URE) and Solar Farm. The project aims to convert processed waste into electricity and biomethane, representing potential future revenue from energy generation.
