Sustainable projects at PraxEco adapt together like a web between diverse industries to ensure high efficiency and low cost. Our projects fall into three main categories:

• Eliminate waste: Waste is not waste until it’s wasted. Waste does not exist in nature; the output of one system is the input of another. Following that concept, we are building open source machines that recycle plastic, compost food scraps, and turn any other form of “waste” to heat, compost, and stored methane gas that can be used as an energy source. In the future, we plan to start projects to recycle and reuse metal and concrete.

• Optimize consumption: The biggest and most important consumption need is, with no doubt, food. We like to imagine a future where fresh, local, biodynamic, high-quality organic produce is available, in abundance, for whoever needs it. For that, we chose to start our journey towards self-sustainable consumption with Project A: Agriculture. From plastic recycled window pots, to autonomous zero-waste closet gardens, to community greenhouses… Using as much growing area as possible to grow a community’s local production of food, fibers (clothes), medicine, tools…

• Collective-Self-Empowerment: This category focuses on creating activities and workshops that brings back sustainable knowledge (and power). This allows individuals to learn, teach, reflect, practice and work independently and together. Collective-Self-Empowerment series are aimed to empower self-reflection, communal engagement and collaborative entrepreneurship.
