Wastelab

Wastelab is an organization dedicated to promote recycling and sustainable consumption that operates in Tijuana, Mexico. We do so mainly through recycling programs applied to schools, residential communities, as well as public and private organizations. We start by organizing the communities, give them a lecture and workshop so that they start changing their habits and start separating their waste to be recycled and change their consumption habits to generate less pollution. And we coordinate for them a special collection service that keeps all materials separated and weighs how much of each is being recycled, for which the community receives an economic incentive as well as a motivational one by reporting periodically to them the impact of their efforts on the planet in terms of trees, water, and energy saved, and CO2 emissions prevented.
