What does green mining do?

To serve companies interested in implementing the procedures ESGthe startup company has developed an intelligent reverse logistics system.

The innovative aspect is that this system uses blockchain technology to identify each stage of the process in real time, with the date and place of collection, and the volume and destination of the recyclables. More plainly speaking, it identifies the packaging used and guarantees (through traceability) that after collection by formal contract collectors, it will all be recycled and back in the production cycle. Thus preventing them from ending up in a landfill or “landfill”. Since 2018, the Green Mining Program has prevented the emission of more than 855,000 kg of CO2.

Ampev accelerator

The startup, which Ambev accelerated, grew out of Oliveira’s partnership with two other partners, Adriano Ferreira and Leandro Metropolo.

Together, they created construction waste tracking software in 2013. Five years later, they turned the system into a tool capable of tracking reverse packaging logistics, giving rise to green mining.

The startup has already won in Climate Ventures Global Green Business Competition It has been awarded for two consecutive years in the Open 100 Startups Ranking, ranking in the top 10 for CleanTechs in 2021 and CityTechs in 2022.
