Salvador waste management and recycling initiatives
Overview
In Salvador, Brazil, various recycling and waste management initiatives have been established to promote urban sustainability and social impact.
The RODA recycling project, a partnership between the startup SOLOS, the Salvador City Hall, and the Cooperativa de Reciclagem União (CRUN), focuses on door-to-door collection using electric vehicles. During its first year, the project collected over 100 tons of recyclable materials. This initiative was recently presented at an international workshop in Osaka, Japan.
Additionally, the construction company OR has introduced ‘Projeto Transformar’ in collaboration with CRUN. This project manages construction waste through sorting and repurposing. At the Legacy residential site in Salvador, the system has achieved a processing rate of over 98%, with 13.1 tons of waste directed to the ‘Recicla Salvador’ program to support social causes such as the Instituto Viva Infância.
