AVINA AMERICAS INC

Recycling: there are millions of latin americans who make their living by recycling. Despite their history of contributions to society, they continue to live in social exclusion and work informally, suffering economic exploitation. To achieve a vision for recycling, avina works to promote separation and differentiated collection, to formalize the work of recyclers through the recognition and restitution of labor, social and human rights, and to ensure fair compensation for the service that recyclers provide.

Innovation for democracy: this program aims to increase civic participation and collaborative practices, including the use of civic technologies and open data in order to achieve a stronger society.
