In Santiago de Cali, more than 1,800 tons of solid waste are generated daily, there is a deficit in the recovery and use of waste, where the recovery level does not exceed 10%, wasting useful raw materials for production processes, generating environmental impacts, sanitary and landscaping.

Therefore, the APP REDCICLO project was born, a technological innovation project, designed to potentiate the use of solid waste in the District, through which the trade recyclers offer citizens their door-to-door usable waste collection service with the location of the recyclers' routes, in addition to providing information on the organization to which they belong and making their life history visible. All this with the aim of improving the utilization rates in the city, avoiding the waste of raw materials. The project strengthens the vulnerable population of trade recyclers, as an added value the APP has been designed in collaboration with this population who have all the experience in the collection and recovery of materials, know their needs and what they require to improve the service that they lend to the Caleños.
