Business Model Description

Invest in infrastructure, systems and logistics for the collection, sorting and recycling of urban solid waste such as plastic, cardboard, tetra pak, glass and others: > Private investment for which investors build, operate and manage recycling plants and systems for reuse, making a profit from the provision of service, sale of recycled and reused material, or other models. > partnerships with recyclers, thus encouraging the formalization of their work, training them, granting them microcredits, etc., so that the collection of the materials is carried out and becomes suppliers.

Expected Impact
