The R(e)volución Plástica initiative, driven by the Érguete Foundation, has the support of the Curtis City Council. The project takes place at the Teixeiro Penitentiary Center with the main objective of giving a second life to plastic waste generated within the facility.
Thanks to the installation of recycling machinery, such as a shredder and an injector, and the training of a group of inmates in its operation, plastic waste is transformed into new useful objects. In this initial phase, combs and clothes hangers are produced, establishing a circular economy model.
The project also represents an opportunity for skill development and contribution to a more sustainable and inclusive future. The Curtis City Council reaffirms its commitment to initiatives that generate a positive social, environmental, and community impact, turning waste into resources and creating new opportunities.
