PT What we do?
iWrc is a collaborative platform that connects businesses with socially responsible recycling cooperatives, aiming to transform waste into valuable resources, ensuring ethical working conditions.
We do this through our three pillars: the iWrc University, the Marketplace and ESG Services. With the iWrc University, we develop capacities in cooperatives so that they can engage in the fair trade of recyclable materials with brands, minimizing risks in the supply chain. In a complementary way, we support companies with other consultancy services in waste management and/or circularity.

MEET PROFESSOR iWrc
The iWrc University
Empowering cooperatives and autonomous pickers!
At iWrc, we are committed to improving the quality of life of cooperative members and autonomous pickers, and that is why we have created the iWrc University: exclusive content based on global standards and influence in the recycling sector, delivered weekly via WhatsApp, to develop capabilities, improve productivity and bring dignity to students who are part of this market.
The content is delivered in short videos, and addresses topics such as health and safety, child labor and forced labor, among others, disseminating good practices to minimize risks in the routine of cooperative members and autonomous pickers. The courses include activities and certificates of completion, which allow monitoring of each student’s performance.
We offer this solution for companies looking to secure their production chain or for individuals who want to update their knowledge about recycling.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The Marketplace
Where we turn waste into valuable resources
Once we begin developing capabilities within iWrc’s partner cooperatives, we encourage them to sell their recyclable materials to partner brands so that this waste can be transformed into new products and packaging.
With our years of experience and a team focused on relationships with cooperatives, we facilitate the commercialization of recyclable materials, generating income for cooperatives and ensuring decent conditions for cooperative members and their families.
We also support companies to achieve their sustainability goals in accordance with the legislations by putting the circular economy into practice through our marketplace.
BE GREEN
ESG Services
Sustainability solutions to enhance positive impact and measure performance!
We are driving positive change through our comprehensive suite of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) services. At iWrc, we go beyond conventional ESG services by actively contributing to sustainable development initiatives.
We assist organizations in aligning their business strategies with governance, environmental and social responsibility standards and strategies. We actively support the development as well as the execution of sustainability strategies, defining material topics, goals and targets. Our expert team specializes in conducting thorough supply chain risk analyses, ensuring that businesses can identify and mitigate potential environmental and social risks across their operations.
Moreover, we can provide capacity building for teams through specialized training programs and workshops on ESG practices and standards. Our commitment to transparency is evident in the comprehensive ESG reports we generate, offering clients valuable insights into their environmental and social performance and using standards such as GRI and IFRS. Additionally, our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses provide a holistic view of the environmental impact of products and processes, enabling informed decision-making for a greener, more responsible tomorrow.
Success Stories
Let's see some of our best cases :)
1º Aceleradora 100+
(Ambev, Valgroup and Deink)
(Ambev, Valgroup and Deink)
We were chosen by Ambev to develop a pilot where we could integrate socially assured cooperatives into their supply chain (including Deink and Valgroup) to produce shrink film with post consumed residue.
In order to do that, iWrc had to engage partner cooperatives with the iWrc University, and once socially assured, train them to sort the shrink film among the flexibles. Mixed with flexibles, shrink would probably become trash bags, but sorted, it would become new shrink packaging. Thus, we were able to improve the material’s aggregated value and generate 47% more revenue to the cooperatives.
iWrc benefited from the good relationship with partner cooperatives and designed a hub where we aggregated all the material before sending it to the client. Instead of having to pick it up in 10 different locations, the client only had to go to the iWrc hub, saving 72% in logistics costs.
The entire supply chain was tracked with our tracebility tool called Empower. This way, Ambev would know where the material came from, losses in the production process and as a result there was a QR code to what we call a product passport – where we were able to tell a story of how this new shrink sustainable package was transforming the industry.
At the end of the pilot we’re able to deliver the shrink package produced with 15% post consumed residue, and our next goal is to have it with more the 50%.
2º So+ma House
(Ocean Conservancy and So+ma)
iWrc partnered with Ocean Conservancy and So+ma to start the first OC House on Guarajuba Beach in Camaçari, Bahia. The idea is to encourage a change in community behavior in relation to recycling and beach cleaning, exchanging waste for points and benefits.
All residue received is donated to a local cooperative that is also being trained by iWrc University. Every month, the House receives an average of 6 tons of different types of recyclable waste (paper, plastic, aluminum, glass, etc.).
In February 2024, we opened the second house in Brazil in partnership with Ocean Conservancy, located in Praia Mole, in Florianópolis/SC, and we are moving forward to establish a third house in Salvador/BA.
3º Electronic Waste
Since 2018, iWrc has been a partner with a Fortune 10 company that operates in the information technology (IT) sector to promote the inclusion of recycling cooperatives in its reverse logistics.
We encourage the circularity of electronic materials, enabling the movement of these materials between cooperatives and processors responsible for recycling these materials so that they can be reintroduced into the supply chain and transformed into new products and packaging for the electronics company.
Alongside the cooperatives, we develop skills and empower their members through the iWrc University, offering training and content that helps to improve working conditions, encourage education and effective waste management, promote the social and financial inclusion of autonomous pickers and members, and support the improvement of cooperative members’ income.
By 2023, the project managed to carry out the reverse logistics of more than 1,500,000 kg of electronic waste and had the participation of 40 recycling cooperatives in the State of São Paulo. Thanks to this partnership, we transferred around 2 million reais to the cooperatives and trained more than 1,300 members with the iWrc University.
