Essencis BA

What Essencis BA does

Essencis BA is a Brazilian environmental services company and subsidiary of Grupo Solví that operates the Centro Integrado de Tratamentos Ambientais (CITA) in São Francisco do Conde, Bahia. Since 2009 the company has run Class 1 (hazardous) and Class 2 (non-hazardous) sanitary landfill operations, weighing and entry control, and a laboratory for waste analysis and monitoring. The technology stack includes temporary storage, co-processing blending (waste-to-fuel for cement and other industries), and composting for organic waste valorization. The facility serves municipalities in the Região Metropolitana de Salvador and Recôncavo Baiano covering more than 300,000 inhabitants with municipal solid waste services, and supplies hazardous-waste treatment to industrial customers in the Bahia corridor, including companies at Aratu port and Tronox.

The company sells on a B2B and B2G direct-sales motion through an in-house commercial team that conducts client visits, environmental awareness campaigns, and industry-event outreach (notably Bahia Oil & Gas Energy and Index BA). Revenue is generated from contract-based, recurring waste management and disposal fees from municipal governments and private industrial clients, supplemented by environmental engineering and consulting services for waste valorization and energy recovery. Operations are certified under ISO 9001, 14001, 37001, and 45001, and the company benefits from Grupo Solví's broader Latin American network of more than 60 Unidades de Valorização Sustentável (UVSs). Recent strategic emphasis is on sustainability-themed service packaging — exemplified by a 2026 carbon-neutral waste transport commitment to Tronox — and on joint go-to-market with sibling entities Cetrel and Solví Energias Renováveis.
