Recycling Albania

United States · Retail

Recycling Albania (RecycAl LLC) was founded by Lulzim Baumann and Vilma Zela in 2022. RecycAl is a product of the NGO ENFORCE, founded in 2020, whose base we created within the framework of a program of the DIASPORA 2030, funded by the German Government. We work as a social enterprise where 25% of the profit goes to social and environmental projects and our goal is environmental justice. Our vision is Zero Waste and we advocate for solutions that are environmentally sound, socially just, economically feasible and politically enforceable. We focus on helping residents, communities and businesses implement environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. We recognize our responsibility to contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and stand for locally appropriate, cutting-edge, evidence-based win-win projects that have a significant impact in Albania, the Balkans and beyond. Our "zero waste" concept is close to our hearts and we are committed to establishing the zero waste hierarchy in practice. Our goal is to reduce first and then reuse everything where possible. We believe that reuse is a very valuable thing that has a great positive impact on the environment and also brings economic benefits. Our mission is to help private and legal persons in the management of their waste through a first-class team, services and solutions, protecting the environment and human health, in compliance with the relevant legislation. It is very important for us to teach children the importance of recycling and environmental protection. In our waste education center, we will provide children with the opportunity to receive the necessary environmental education and involve them in solving environmental problems in the region. Children are the future and we need them as much as they need us to create a healthy environment.
