Recycling with Purpose is an innovative project that seeks to unite environmental sustainability with social inclusion, creating a path towards a fairer and greener future.

Project Mission

The mission of Recycling with Purpose is twofold: to reduce waste through efficient recycling and to provide employment opportunities to people in vulnerable situations. This project aims to demonstrate that recycling not only has a positive impact on the environment, but can also be a powerful tool for social transformation.

The Social and Environmental Problem

Every year, tons of waste end up in landfills, causing significant environmental damage. At the same time, many people face barriers to accessing decent jobs due to situations of vulnerability, such as long-term unemployment, disability or social exclusion. Recycling with Purpose addresses both problems by integrating these people into the recycling industry, providing them with training and employment.

How the Project Works

1. Identification and Selection of Participants: People in vulnerable situations are identified and selected to participate in the project.

2. Specialized Training: Participants receive training in recycling and waste management, developing technical and social skills to successfully integrate into the labor market.

3. Job Placement: After training, participants are placed in jobs within the recycling sector, either in processing plants, collection centers or in logistics roles.

4. Coaching Ongoing: The project offers ongoing mentoring and support to participants to ensure their adaptation and success in their new roles.

Project Impact

• Environmental: By increasing the recycling rate, the project contributes to waste reduction and the conservation of natural resources.

• Social: It provides employment opportunities and fosters social inclusion, improving the quality of life of participants and their families.

• Economic: It generates employment and supports the development of a more robust circular economy.

Success Stories

The success stories of the Recycling with Purpose are testament to the transformative power of the project. From people who have found financial stability to those who have rediscovered their self-esteem, each story reinforces the positive impact this initiative has on society.

A Call to Action

Recycling with Purpose invites businesses, governments and citizens to join in this cause. Whether through donations, collaborations or active participation in recycling, we can all contribute to building a more sustainable and equitable future.

Ultimately, this project demonstrates that, with vision and commitment, recycling can be much more than an ecological practice: it can be a powerful force for social change.
