IMPAQTO Capital has invested in CICLO, a Peruvian company that is revolutionizing the construction industry by transforming construction and demolition waste into eco-friendly building materials.
In Lima alone, 25,000 tons of construction and demolition waste are generated daily; however, 75% of this waste is not recycled and is often disposed of informally, worsening environmental degradation and disproportionately affecting low-income communities.
CICLO is at the forefront of tackling this challenge. Through its circular economy model, the company collects and processes construction waste, turning it into sustainable materials such as paving stones and bricks. CICLO collaborates with construction companies and real estate developers to manage waste, repurposing it into high-quality eco-friendly products that are then marketed through retail partners.
To date, CICLO has recycled 50,000 tons of construction and demolition waste, avoiding the emission of 15,000 tons of CO₂, a significant reduction compared to traditional material production. Additionally, the company supports recycling cooperatives by donating materials, generating income opportunities for low-income communities.
Marjorie Mori and Roger Mori, Co-founders of CICLO, stated: “Partnering with IMPAQTO Capital gives us a significant boost for our growth. Beyond financial investment, we have a partner who understands our purpose and goals. This collaboration will undoubtedly allow us to increase our impact.”
Justin Schwartz, Managing Partner of IMPAQTO Capital, added: “We are deeply impressed by Roger and Marjorie’s expertise and commitment to making construction more sustainable. Their innovative approach is transforming the industry while delivering tangible environmental and social benefits. We are excited to support their continued growth.”
The investment will be used to expand CICLO’s processing capacity and accelerate the development of new eco-friendly construction products, reinforcing the company’s leadership in sustainable building materials.
