Temu and Guayaquil launch separate environmental sustainability initiatives

Temu has entered into an agreement with Recyclia in Spain to assist marketplace sellers in meeting environmental obligations. The partnership focuses on compliance regarding waste from electrical and electronic equipment, as well as batteries. Through this collaboration, sellers can manage registration, reporting, and environmental management fees in accordance with Spanish and European regulations. Additionally, consumers will gain access to official collection points for recycling products purchased on the platform.

In Ecuador, the Municipality of Guayaquil has signed a technical cooperation agreement with Geocycle Ecuador S.A., a subsidiary of Holcim, and Empresa Pública Municipal Circular EP. The initiative aims to repurpose up to 100,000 tons of concrete waste from municipal works into raw construction materials. Scheduled for implementation between October 2026 and April 2027, the project involves separating material at the source and processing it through crushing and classification to reduce natural resource extraction and CO2 emissions.
