Reciclador Chile, an organization dedicated to recycling and environmental sustainability, is seeking improvements and funding to enhance their operations and efficiency.
Reciclador Chile currently has five digital Roman scales that are used to track the weight of collected plastic. The collected quantities are reported daily through a WhatsApp group and recorded in Excel spreadsheets for traceability and data analysis. To improve accuracy and efficiency, a new digital Roman scale is needed, along with software to automate data entry and a soil stabilizer for weighing plastic optimally. This will optimize weighing procedures and ensure compliance with ISO 9001 certification requirements.
In addition to the scale, Reciclador Chile aims to acquire three folding tents for corporate and recycling activities. These tents will be used in outdoor events to provide shelter from sunlight and rain, and they will feature the Reciclador Chile logo.
The organization's service truck, used for transporting collected plastic, requires mechanical and aesthetic repairs due to continuous use and wear. Tasks such as rust removal, dent repair, repainting, and component replacements are necessary to restore the truck's functionality.
To enhance security and control access, Reciclador Chile plans to replace the existing manual gate with an automatic gate for their facilities. The automatic gate will provide better security and monitoring of vehicular and pedestrian access.
The implementation of a crane arm is essential to assist in lifting heavy bags, sacks, and containers, reducing the strain on workers, and preventing injuries caused by overexertion. This will improve employee well-being, productivity, and reduce absenteeism.
To address the uneven surfaces and instability of the soil in their facilities, Reciclador Chile requires a soil stabilizer. This stabilizer will prevent vehicles from getting stuck and improve maneuverability, ensuring smooth operations and timely fulfillment of work obligations.

#PLASTICFREEOCEANS

330 kg
plastic recovered
According to the European Commission, fishing gear and single-use plastics account for 70% of marine litter in Europe.
Each year, around 640.000 tons of fishing nets are abandoned in the ocean and fishing ports.
It is estimated that nowadays less tan 1.5% of this waste is recycled (The Ocean Cleanup), not only one of the most abundant plastic waste in our oceans but also the worst for marine life.
From Gravity Wave we’ve been facing up this problem in the Mediterranean Sea since 2020. First, by collaborating with both traditional fishermen and companies, we collect all kinds of plastic from the sea (including discarded fishing nets from fishing ports). In a second stage, as Gravity Wave, we are specialized in the recycling of those ghost and discarded fishing nets.
To this day, we have already achieved to create a stable recycling process to transform PE fishing nets into beautiful furniture, but we are always under continuous R&D processes that allow us to recycle both more types of nets (different types of nets, different plastics, different recycling needs) and in larger volumes.
These funds will help us to take our industrial recycling tests one step further. One step more towards one of our main purpose:
“Move those plastics and fishing nets away from our oceans and transform them into valuable raw material for the industry”.
