At ALIS, we design an innovative recycling process for industry-generated water and gas using microalgae. It is an innovative model based on circular bio-economy that relies on microalgae and industrial waste in our biofilters to sustainably provide a service to the industry that is economically viable and generates environmental and social benefits. The process is straightforward; thanks to our continuous carbonation technology, the microalgae use sunlight to remove pollutants from the water, absorb and filter polluting CO2 emissions, to improve the environment's quality.

At CAPTAR, A.C., we provide families with materials to build a rainwater harvesting system. Over the past 15 years, we have partnered with hundreds of indigenous communities in the Sierra Tarahumara and together have built nearly 6,000 rainwater harvesting systems. With access to clean water, newly acquired construction and organizational skills, and a safe home, we can influence three key areas: health, environmental protection, and building social capital. Our beneficiary communities become self-sufficient, empowered and have an opportunity to break out of the poverty cycle.

We evaluated the changes in fauna, where there were once 15 bird species, and now there are 121. We assessed the restoration of ecosystem services that were once provided, and today, more than 11,000 people participate in our project. We want a resilient forest.

This project implements a piece of equipment known as the "Bioreactor," which captures and transforms contaminants from the combustion of fixed sources. The equipment is low-cost and has a modular and scalable design, making it adaptable to any industrial need, volume or airflow. During a pilot phase, the results obtained include an 85% concentration reduction in the boiler flow and the capture of 33 kg of CO2 per 1000 liters of culture in the reactor.

Estimates show that 1.5 million birds, fish, whales and turtles die every year due to plastic waste in seas and oceans. A plastic bag can take up to 400 to biodegrade. Eight million tons of waste reach rivers, seas and oceans every year. Every second more than 200 kilos of garbage invade our waters. IT IS THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION! The planet offers us resources and end up paying a high price. Natpacking is a single-use biodegradable bag that composts 100% in natural environments. Help us be part of the change.

According to the International Energy Agency, it is expected that by 2040, the global energy demand will grow by 30%. By 2050, 90% of the energy matrix is expected to come from Non-Conventional Renewable Energy sources. Based on these expectations, the "Urban Spark" project is born. The Smart-Hybrid electricity-generating floor transforms mechanical energy generated by people's footsteps into electrical power. It comes with an integrated solar energy system and intelligence that allows parameterization data related to pedestrian flow, perfectly complementing other non-conventional renewable energies.

On October 25th, 2018, the Santa Martha District passed Resolution N.1017 prohibiting single-use plastic and expanded polystyrene foam. This resolution set monitoring, surveillance and control rules on the consumption of non-biodegradable materials to reduce high local contamination levels, mainly in water sources and coastal marine areas. The Santa Marthan community reduced plastic bag consumption in all socio-economic echelons, including tourism. This regulation achieved political consciousness on the problem and the need to reduce the use of plastic and involved the community in solution proposals.
