iWrc (Inclusive Waste Recycling Consortium) was founded in 2019 at the request of our founding members, consisting of HP, J&J, KCC and FEMSA Foundation, all with the same goal of including post-consumer waste (PCR) recovered from the environment by recycling cooperatives and autonomous collectors. On his first visit to Brazil, Michael Maggio, our CEO and founder, worked as global vice president of packaging and global head of engineering at Johnson & Johnson and was then introduced to the risks that exist when integrating them into the formal supply chain. When visiting cooperatives, he saw shirtless men and women without shoes, children on site, electrical wires hanging from the ceiling, no drinking water and no working toilets. Since then, he was determined to improve conditions for the people he realized were the first line of defense in protecting the environment by providing recycling services where none existed.
