What re.green does

re.green is a Brazilian ecological restoration company founded in 2021 that restores degraded tropical landscapes at scale across the Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes. The company employs a "Total Forest Stewardship" methodology that integrates active planting of native species, assisted natural regeneration, and conservation of remnant forests within single project mosaics. Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro with offices in São Paulo and an operations hub in Eunápolis (Bahia), re.green currently manages 37,000 hectares with 20,000 hectares under active restoration, spanning 13 active projects across multiple Brazilian states (Maranhão, Pará, Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Southern Bahia, and Vale do Paraíba). The company's stated goal is to restore 1 million hectares and capture 15 million tonnes of carbon annually.

re.green's technology stack centers on ecological restoration supported by an integrated monitoring system using drones, camera traps, acoustic sensors, LiDAR, eDNA analysis, and satellite data to verify seedling growth, natural regeneration, fauna presence, water resource functioning, and canopy cover evolution. The company operates Bioflora by re.green, one of Brazil's largest native-species nurseries with capacity of nearly 3 million seedlings annually (expandable to 10 million), supplemented by more than 20 local partner nurseries. re.green pioneered combining native timber silviculture (species such as jequitibá-rosa, jatobá, andiroba, and pau-brasil) with carbon projects, and was the first to issue international-standard (Verra) carbon credits from exclusively native Atlantic Forest restoration, a 36,877-unit batch issued in May 2026.

re.green monetizes primarily through long-term (20-60 year) carbon removal credit offtake agreements with global and Brazilian enterprises including Microsoft (6.5 million credits), Nestlé (880,000 credits), Vivo/Telefónica, Novo Nordisk (87,000 credits), Agro Penido (257,000 credits), and Petrobras (1 million credits over 25 years via ProFloresta+). Secondary revenue streams include sustainable native timber, seedling and seed sales, and community forest products (honey, açaí, bacaba). The company secures land through three models, annual lease (IPCA-indexed), rural partnership (fixed plus carbon revenue share), or acquisition, and operates public-sector channels including Brazil's first federal forest restoration concession (Bom Futuro National Forest, 59,000 hectares, 40 years). Carbon credits price above $70/tonne, with re.green securing $73.82/tonne in Brazil's first public Amazon carbon auction. Funding includes R$187 million from the BNDES Climate Fund and an R$80 million biodiversity-labeled transaction, backed by Itaú and Bradesco guarantees.

Revenue model

1. Carbon Removal Credits (CRUs): re.green generates high-integrity carbon removal credits verified by international standards (Verra, BeZero Carbon, ICVCM Core Carbon Principles). Credits are sold under long-term offtake agreements to corporate clients. First credit issuance occurred in May 2026 from Atlantic Forest restoration. Projects include Microsoft (6.5M credits), Nestlé (880K credits), Novo Nordisk (87K credits), Agro Penido (257K credits), Vivo, and ProFloresta+ (1M credits over 25 years). Prices in the voluntary market range above $70/tonne, with re.green securing $73.82/tonne in Brazil's first public Amazon carbon auction.
2. Sustainable Native Timber: High-value timber products harvested from native species silviculture within restoration projects. A single cutting cycle per species removes selected individuals while many others continue growing. re.green is developing certified native timber value chains including sawmills in project regions, creating a previously non-existent market.
3. Seedling and Seed Sales: Sales of native seedlings and seeds to other restoration projects. Production through Bioflora by re.green (up to 10M seedlings/year capacity) and a network of 20+ local partner nurseries. Community nurseries have sold over 600,000 seedlings and 21,000 kg of seeds to re.green.
4. Community Forest Products: Additional revenue streams from community-led activities supported by re.green projects including honey (CoopVera produced 45+ tonnes in 2025), açaí and bacaba extraction (R$4M+ in local income in 2025), and other sustainable forest products developed with neighboring communities.

Product overview

re.green is a Brazilian large-scale ecological landscape restoration company that monetizes its work through three primary product streams: Carbon Removal Units (CRUs) as high-integrity carbon credits, Sustainable Native Timber from native silviculture, and Seedlings & Seeds through its Bioflora nursery and partner network. The company operates across Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes, combining active restoration, assisted natural regeneration, and remnant forest conservation. Additional products include community forest products (honey, açaí) developed through social programs with neighboring communities. re.green offers rural land partnership programs (lease, rural partnership, acquisition models) as a service to landowners, and provides an eight-stage ecological restoration process as its operational methodology. The Total Forest Stewardship model integrates biodiversity conservation, sustainable forest product management, and community engagement.
