AEPW Formed a Partnership with Recicleiros and Together They Plan to Install More Than 60 Recycling and Sorting Centers in Brazil, Creating Thousands of Jobs and Recycling 30 Thousand Tons of Plastic Annually.

The Alliance To End Plastic Waste (AEPW) has just announced its first project in the country with Recicleiros, a nonprofit organization. The five-year partnership between the companies aims to curb the spread of plastic waste and support recycling efforts in 60 cities across 26 states in Brazil, including Três Rios (RJ), Piracaia (SP), and Naviraí (MS), developing community waste collection programs and also establishing a network of 60 recycling centers. The expectation is that 3 thousand new jobs will be created throughout the process.

Recycling Center System Will Be Fully Operational Within Five Years

When the program is fully operational, it is expected that, in addition to job creation, it will be possible to recycle at least 30 thousand tons of plastic waste per year. The key to the commercial viability of the program is the creation of end markets for the recycled materials.

The Recicleiros is directly connecting with brand owners and other end users to ensure that the plastic waste sale chain is reduced and can guarantee a greater return to waste pickers.

Highly Efficient Sorting Units Will Be Installed

The program is based on a successful pilot in Ceará that was later implemented in nine other cities. The model also aims to develop public policies in partnership with municipalities, engaging local populations through customized behavior transition programs and also developing direct connections with brand owners.

Recicleiros and AEPW, in addition to the recycling centers, will build highly efficient sorting units across all states, in line with the Alliance’s approach to developing localized plastic waste solutions that can be scaled and replicated. According to Steve Sikra, Vice President and Head of the Americas at the Alliance, waste management systems, such as recycling and sorting centers, can sometimes struggle to achieve financial sustainability.

To fulfill the mission of ending plastic waste, Recicleiros and AEPW join forces to develop solution models with circular economy principles, aiming for commercially viable systems at scale, as well as generating numerous jobs.

Demand for Post-Consumer Recyclables Is Expected to Grow in Brazil

According to Sikra, alongside Recicleiros, AEPW aims to reduce waste disposal and expand recycling rates, generating numerous jobs and a sense of community among Brazilians. The companies are eager to help this project expand throughout the country.

The need for post-consumer recyclables in the country is expected to grow significantly according to regulatory milestones, and this collaboration aims to fill a gap between supply and demand for recovered materials in the country.

According to the Founder and Business Development Director of Recicleiros, Erich Burger, the partnership will contribute to fulfilling the statutory mission of the Institute. The company will be able to advance its model through experience and technology exchange, replicating the model through other initiatives.
