At ReciVeci® we believe that a truly sustainable waste management model is not only focused on recycling more, but on generating less and ensuring that what is generated reaches those who support recycling in the country in decent conditions. For this reason, we work to reduce the generation of such waste through awareness campaigns and alliances with companies, universities and citizens to help us consolidate a fair, sustainable and truly inclusive recycling model.
With this approach, last Thursday, April 25, the third edition of the Recyclatón beside Asuradora del Sur, an allied company that not only recycles, but is committed to transforming its organizational culture. Thanks to the commitment of its employees, it was possible to recover more than a ton of recyclable materials, which were delivered directly to basic recyclers of the Association For a Better Future and which will be reused as raw materials to prevent the extraction of virgin resources and prevent usable resources from ending up in landfills, rivers or streams.
The day was lived with enthusiasm, play and teamwork. A friendly and competitive environment was created that encouraged participation and learning. In addition, the commitment to delivering waste in good condition was recognized, which responded to our vision of Just Ton: waste delivered in optimal conditions, separated, clean and ready to be used with dignity. This direct interaction also opened up a space for exchange with grass-roots recyclers, reinforcing the idea that inclusive recycling is not only an environmental practice, but also a commitment to social justice.
As noted by Edicson Gamba, Operations Coordinator and Administrator of the Glass Hub by ReciVeci®, this delivery not only represents an improvement in terms of quantity and quality of the material, but also an opportunity to dignify the work of recyclers and make their role visible to the entire company community.
At ReciVeci®, we deeply thank Aseguradora del Sur for maintaining and strengthening this commitment year after year, for opening its doors to inclusive recycling and for recognizing the fundamental work that basic waste pickers do in our country. These types of alliances demonstrate that it is possible to build a circular economy from work spaces, with responsibility and respect, and that small acts sustained over time can generate a great collective impact.
