Cataki

Cataki addresses Brazil’s waste management challenges by connecting informal waste pickers (catadores) with individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking to dispose of recyclables responsibly. This digital platform improves the efficiency of waste collection, increasing recycling rates and directly benefiting catadores by providing them with fair compensation and better working conditions. By integrating informal workers into the formal waste system, Cataki reduces environmental harm, promotes social inclusion, and helps foster a circular economy. It also raises visibility for waste pickers, tackling social stigma and offering a sustainable, tech-driven solution to Brazil’s recycling issues.
