IMPAQTO Capital announces an investment in CICLO, a Peruvian company revolutionizing the construction industry by transforming construction and demolition waste into eco-friendly building materials. IMPAQTO Capital invested through a revenue-based loan.

 

In Lima alone, 25,000 tons of construction and demolition waste is generated daily, yet 75% of this waste is not recycled and is often disposed of informally, exacerbating environmental degradation and disproportionally impacting low-income communities.

 

CICLO is at the forefront of tackling this challenge. Through its circular economy model, CICLO collects and processes construction waste, converting it into sustainable materials such as paving stones and bricks. The company partners with construction and real estate firms for waste management services, repurposing this material into high-quality, eco-friendly products, which are then sold to construction companies through retail partners.

 

To date, CICLO has recycled 50,000 tons of construction and demolition waste, preventing 15,000 tons of CO2 emissions – a significant reduction compared to traditional material production. Additionally, the company supports recycling cooperatives by donating materials, fostering income generation opportunities for low-income communities.

 

Marjorie Mori and Roger Mori, Co-Founders of CICLO, shared, “Closing this collaboration with IMPAQTO Capital provides us with a significant boost to our growth. Beyond the financial investment, we have a partner who understands our purpose and objectives. This collaboration will undoubtedly allow us to increase our impact.”

 

“We are deeply impressed by Roger and Marjorie’s expertise and commitment to making construction more sustainable. Their innovative approach is reshaping the industry while delivering tangible environmental and social benefits. We are excited to support their continued growth,” remarked Justin Schwartz, Managing Partner of IMPAQTO Capital.

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.
