Somos una empresa joven de desarrollo sustentable, primeras en Mendoza, abocada al reciclaje e interés por el medio ambiente. Tenemos una mirada en la importancia del cambio del presente para mejorar la calidad de vida a futuro. Nos dedicamos a la transformación de los neumáticos en desuso (NFU), los cuales tardan aproximadamente 500 años en degradarse, los cuales van a son destinados a tres divisiones de reciclaje: caucho, paneles solares y PET. Cada vez hay más fabricación de vehículos en nuestro alrededor y cada vez hay más dificultades de hacerlos desaparecer los NFU. Con frecuencia dichos neumáticos son directamente quemados lo que provoca grandes problemas medioambientales, aunque no es menor, sabido que el almacenamiento masivo atrae a roedores, insectos, mosquitos y otros, que pueden producir grandes enfermedades como fiebres, rabia, cólera, salmonelosis, hepatitis, tuberculosis, ,entre otras muchas. Al reciclar se reduce el impacto negativo sobre el suelo, si la disposición final se hace en rellenos sanitarios y sobre el aire si son sometidos a incineración. El reciclaje es importante porque se reduce el impacto ambiental de los desechos que generamos; cuando se recicla se hace una separación selectiva de los residuos que hace que sea más fácil utilizarlo
