Polen is a Brazilian cleantech startup that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to monitor the entire recycling process, from waste collection to delivery at recycling industries. The company invests in cooperatives to strengthen the circular economy and improve the correct disposal of urban solid waste. It partners with large corporations like Ambev to create recycling hubs across multiple states, enabling traceability and efficiency in reverse logistics. Polen has allocated R$30 million to recycling cooperatives nationwide to structure operations and improve waste picker compensation.
