Ambev and Triciclo-Ambipar Installed Machines to Encourage Recycling in SP That Can Exchange Materials for Services and Credits

Ambev and Triciclo-Ambipar Are Joining Forces to Promote Recycling in SP and Installed 10 Machines Where Users Deposit Packaging and Can Receive Points to Exchange for Various Benefits

What if recyclable packaging, which would be thrown away, could be turned into prepaid cell phone credit and transportation vouchers, discounts at bookstores, or bonuses on electricity bills? This is the proposal by Ambev and Triciclo-Ambipar, linked to the Ambipar Group. They installed 10 machines in the capital of SP called Retorna Machine, where post-consumption packaging is deposited through a rewards and loyalty program.

Learn How to Participate in the Recycling Initiative of Ambev and Triciclo-Ambipar in SP

Those interested in participating must create a Triciclo digital account for free through the Triciclo-Ambipar website or via the Triciclo app, available for Android and iOS.

Then, simply deposit the packaging in the machine to start earning points and receiving tricoins, the exchange points for benefits. The machines installed by Ambev and Triciclo-Ambipar accept all types of materials for recycling, such as plastic, aluminum, glass, steel, and long-life packaging.

The recycling machines from Ambev and Triciclo-Ambipar in SP can be found in the metropolitan terminals of Diadema, Jabaquara, São Bernardo do Campo, Piraporinha, Santo André Oeste, and São Mateus, in the ABD Corridor, which is operated by EMTU, as well as at the Republic station on the Line 4-Yellow metro, operated by ViaQuatro.

Additionally, they can also be found at gas stations in the Duque Network, located at the following addresses:

• Av. Hélio Pellegrino;
• Av. Pedroso de Morais, 2,741;
• Av. Juscelino Kubitscheck.

Beyond Sustainability, Job Creation

According to data from the Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning Companies and Special Waste (Abrelpe), Brazil generates about 80 million tons of waste annually, of which only 4% is recycled.

This issue also deserves a reflection that goes beyond environmental preservation, which is in itself of utmost importance. However, recycling is also a source of job and income generation for many Brazilians.

Data from the entity shows that Brazil loses R$ 14 billion annually due to the lack of recycling. What ends up in the city landfills could be used to generate jobs and income in recycling cooperatives, going beyond fulfilling the mission of preserving the environment.
