"We received training from ReciVeci about inclusive recycling and the circular economy at our Ulpik offices in Cuenca. I was impressed by the company, as it directly helps recyclers within the country. Through their mobile application, ReciApp, you can contribute to local recyclers in your neighborhood or community and, in return, receive discounts at various stores in your area. For example, in Cuenca, there are discounts on books, clothing, workshops, health services, among others. It is a great motivation to recycle, especially knowing that you will directly impact the economy of base recyclers, who, according to data from EMAC (Cuenca - 2019), barely sustain themselves on a salary of $125 per month. The profile of recyclers includes women around the age of 52 who likely do not have insurance coverage. The next time you are about to throw away cardboard, Tetra Pak® containers, notebook paper, plastic bottles, glass, or others, you could help a family’s economy, assisting people in vulnerable situations. Perhaps you cannot save the planet by recycling your entire life, but you can help change lives in your neighborhood or community. Many thanks to Julio Díaz Torres (Operations Coordinator of ReciVeci in Cuenca) for the training on inclusive recycling. "
