There is no doubt that there are many examples of the Circular Economy worldwide. Many industrialists promote the circular economy for the benefit of their companies' finances, without paying much attention to the impact these initiatives have on the planet. There are also companies that recover waste to convert it into raw materials suitable for use in industrial processes; in other words, they support the circular economy in conjunction with the companies that produce the final products. However, it is important to highlight those companies whose goals go beyond their finances and promote the sustainable development of their businesses, considering community, environment, and governance.
Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions is a sustainable innovation company dedicated to developing new products from recycled raw materials that are difficult or not readily recyclable. It invests in the development process, equipment, and labor to generate eco-friendly products with a market today. In other words, its entire value chain is focused on positively impacting the environment and the community by generating eco-friendly products that can be used in the construction, design, and agricultural industries.
Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions has become a global example of Tetrapak recovery. Since 2011, it has secured a commitment to collaborate with this multinational to erase the ecological footprint this giant company was leaving on the world. But it doesn't just recycle Tetrapak; it also recycles nearly 200 tons per month of various difficult-to-recycle plastic waste, such as ABS, HDP, LDP, and many others that are classified as Category 7 plastics, as they are not yet defined due to their blends and different compositions.
"Everyone will wonder why there aren't more companies like Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions, if they are an example."
The truth is that it's difficult to replicate; there have been several attempts in Latin America, and very few have achieved the same results. Dedication to research and market risk-taking have made Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions unique in Ecuador and around the world. For this reason, the story of Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions has traveled the world, being covered by major media outlets such as CNN, the BBC in London, and many others who have found it important to emphasize Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions' commitment to sustainable development and saving the planet.
Finally, Ecuaplastic Eco Solutions is a company whose mission and vision are focused on sustainable development, quality, innovation, and conservation of the planet. The importance it places on creating eco-friendly products that can be reincorporated into the economy has led it to be considered an example of the CIRCULAR ECONOMY worldwide.
