## Elevator Pitch
We are a circular economy startup that transforms plastic waste into engineering solutions such as plastic wood and eco-drainage filters. We have developed the Eco-Habitat model for sustainable modular housing with significant social and environmental impact.

## Climate Problem
It addresses the crisis of plastic accumulation and its significant environmental impact; when not properly managed, plastic ends up in landfills, releasing greenhouse gases. This is important because it offers a circular economy solution with a triple impact.

## Solution
I offer a circular construction and water management system based on transforming plastic waste into high-strength engineering materials. Our solution is built on three practical pillars.

## Revenue Model
Sale of Housing Solutions (Eco-Hábitat): We generate revenue by selling modular wood-plastic homes; Sale of Engineering Products: Direct sales of eco-drainage filters and wood-plastic profiles.

## Target Market
Government Sector and NGOs (public entities such as city halls and provincial governments); Social Organizations (affordable housing, purchase of recycled materials); Industrial and Commercial Sector; Businesses and Trade Associations; Construction and Urban Infrastructure Sector

## Social Impact
People of African Descent, Indigenous Peoples, Roma - Sinti and Travelers, Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic - Religious and Linguistic Minorities, Migrants, Refugees - Asylum-seekers and Internally Displaced People, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women, LGBTQI+ People

## Demand Evidence
The urgency of regulatory compliance for businesses; the social sector’s need for decent, resilient housing; and the rise in urban flooding all call for eco-drainage filters in storm drains to address an unmet demand.

## Competitors
Environmental recycling organizations and private entities.

## Founder Expertise
More than 30 years of experience in waste management, utilization, processing, and environmental restoration.

## External Support
International cooperation with Spain through the FUENLABOR Foundation; and with the German Embassy.

## Team
Management of funding sources and targeted macro- and micro-routes; Project development; Resource management and acquisition.
