In the state of Chiapas, Mexico, an approximate of 4,000 tons of solid waste is generated daily, most of which comes from the most populated municipalities. There is a need to generate an optimal innovation ecosystem for the use of solid waste in Chiapas, develop products taking advantage of solid waste, reduce the amount of solid waste in public dumps or sanitary landfills, and raise awareness on the importance of solid waste reduction. With these objectives, this initiative seeks to implement recyclers and promote reuse of waste generated from manufacturing and use of consumer goods. It aims to permeate assertive strategies and actions in the population that allow the use of solid waste and promote sustainable industry based on its use. Through the dissemination of this project on social networks, the intention is to promote solid waste management and attract the attention of youth.
