Problem Statement and target group

With this project, Curitiba hub seeks to address the production of solid waste in the community of Curitiba in order to impact the scenario of Brazil, which is the 4th largest producer of plastic waste in the world, with 11.3 million tons, of which only 145 thousand tons (1.28%) are effectively recycled. (Source: World Bank data).

Proposed Solution and hub activities

Our idea is to mobilize social organizations, private institutions and civil society to consciously and responsibly establish the link between humanity and the way it consumes and treats existing resources in the environment in which it inhabits. We will produce content and training on the rational use of natural resources and conscious consumption in order to minimize the negative impacts of consumption on the environment and strengthen the change in habits and common practices in civil society to even have a positive impact on the local economy.

Short & Long-Term Goals/Results

We seek to share with social organizations, private institutions and civil society responsible and conscious consumption and production practices to mobilize people in favor of sustainable development.
