Importance of Sustainability
In today’s world, sustainability is more important than ever. We all have a role to play in protecting our planet. Soluciones Ecológicas is a social enterprise that focuses on managing recyclable materials. We work to dignify the work of grassroots recyclers and promote the circular economy. Our mission is to help organizations manage their recyclable waste sustainably. Join us in this important movement!
Our Key Initiatives
- Promotes sustainable waste management.

Understanding the Circular Economy
The circular economy is a model that aims to minimize waste and make the most of resources. Instead of the traditional linear model of “take, make, dispose,” the circular economy encourages recycling and reusing materials. This approach helps reduce the environmental impact of waste. By working with grassroots recyclers, we can close the loop on waste management and create a more sustainable future.
Installation of Recycling Points
One of our key initiatives is the installation of recycling points. These points are managed by grassroots recyclers and sponsored by private companies. This not only helps in managing waste but also provides a source of income for recyclers. We ensure that these points are accessible and well-maintained, making it easier for people to recycle their waste.
Event Waste Management
We specialize in managing recyclable waste generated at events. Whether it’s a concert, marathon, or conference, we provide the necessary bins and training to ensure proper waste disposal. Our team accompanies event organizers to ensure that all recyclable materials are collected and processed correctly. This service is essential for reducing the environmental impact of large gatherings.
Recycling and Awareness Campaigns
To encourage participation in recycling, we develop campaigns that include prizes for participants. These campaigns help establish the habit of separating waste at the source. We believe that making recycling fun and rewarding can lead to greater community involvement. Our campaigns include training sessions, periodic weighings, and award events to celebrate the efforts of participants.
Products for Sustainable Living
We offer a variety of products designed to promote sustainability. Our EcoBoxes, EcoPress (can crushers), and the option to sponsor a recycler are aimed at individuals and companies committed to the environment. These products help facilitate the correct separation of waste and support inclusive recycling efforts. By using these tools, everyone can contribute to a more sustainable future.
Linking to Sustainable Development Goals
Our project aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By promoting recycling and supporting grassroots recyclers, we contribute to the following goals:
- Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- Goal 13: Climate Action
- Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals
