Acción Circular is a Chilean company that connects and promotes collaboration between key players in the industry and society in relation to recycling, to build smarter, more circular and inclusive cities, with applied technological solutions to circular economy challenges. Managing the generation and disposal of waste becomes an increasingly important imperative for companies today. Inspired by the circular economy and technology, Acción Circular, offer solutions to companies through a platform that allows companies to automate the withdrawal of recyclable material, thanks to the use of ultrasonic sensors (picture) installed in their containers. The sensors indicate the containers' filling status and before the overflow occurs, they communicate with their platform, which generates a withdrawal request with a carrier that can carry it out and take it to a recovery company. “Unlike other solutions, where the information from the sensors is transmitted to only one company, the information captured by our sensors is delivered to hundreds of carriers and recycling companies in charge of receiving the collected material," says Paulina Cataldo, CEO of Acción Circular. Their solutions can be adapted to companies of different sizes and in various sectors and they also organize workshops with workers on the circular economy and recycling to share knowledge. And what's also great is that the team is 100% women! (not very common in Chile) https://www.accioncircular.com/
