They offer small farmers alternative income-generating options by transforming agricultural waste, which is normally discarded or burned, into higher-value products that allow them to access the market and obtain a better price. These initiatives benefit communities, helping to build a more just and sustainable economy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.57px;\">CODESPA is carrying out various<strong> projects to promote the development of small circular economy businesses<\/strong> to combat poverty and <strong>foster the sustainable development of vulnerable communities<\/strong>. These include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><strong>Banana-derived products in the Peruvian Amazon. <\/strong>In the Amazonas and Cajamarca regions of Peru, the majority of the indigenous population lives in poverty. Furthermore, approximately 70% of banana production, the main marketable product in these regions, does not meet the optimal quality criteria set by local buyers. As a result, part of this surplus is wasted or sold at very low prices. CODESPA supports vulnerable rural families living in poverty by promoting entrepreneurial development in collaboration with Peruvian companies. <strong>Surplus bananas, discarded because they do not meet quality standards,<\/strong> are used to produce <strong>high-value-added food products<\/strong>, such as dehydrated flakes and flours, which are in high demand in the market for their high nutritional value. <strong>Textile biofibers<\/strong> derived from banana stems are also obtained, which are used to produce handicrafts and as a highly sought-after raw material in the fashion industry.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47e8c52 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"47e8c52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundaciocodespa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/proyecto-social-codespa-emprendimiento-economia-circular-platano-peru2.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8551\" alt=\"proyecto-social-codespa-emprendimiento-economia-circular-hojuelas-platano-peru\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fundaciocodespa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/proyecto-social-codespa-emprendimiento-economia-circular-platano-peru2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.fundaciocodespa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/proyecto-social-codespa-emprendimiento-economia-circular-platano-peru2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.fundaciocodespa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/proyecto-social-codespa-emprendimiento-economia-circular-platano-peru2-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f531b3 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f531b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Biofertilizers derived from seaweed, in the Philippines.<\/strong> In the Caraga region of Mindanao, 80% of the population lives in rural areas, and many families make a living from artisanal seaweed production. Furthermore, Mindanao&#8217;s coastal area suffers from frequent flooding and typhoons, further increasing the vulnerability of its inhabitants. After a prior process of organization and technical training for small-scale seaweed farmers, resulting in improved production and quality of seaweed, a second phase is promoting the <strong>production of higher-value seaweed-derived products<\/strong>. The <strong>drying process of seaweed produces a liquid, which is normally discarded, which<\/strong> <strong>is used to make biofertilizer.<\/strong> This can be sold to export companies and local farmers at a higher price than unprocessed seaweed. Furthermore, as it is a natural product and therefore less harmful than chemical fertilizers, it also<strong> helps regenerate the soil and improve the productivity of small-scale farmers&#8217; crops<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Biofuel derived from sugarcane, in Colombia. <\/strong>The project benefits people who previously stole sugarcane from sugar mills and sold it informally. Through CODESPA&#8217;s initiative, this problem has been transformed into a solution, involving these people in the collection and <strong>packaging of sugarcane leaves<\/strong>\u2014the thin bark that covers the stem\u2014<strong>for later sale to the same mills as fuel for their operations.<\/strong> In this way, those who previously represented a challenge for companies have now become their suppliers. In addition to generating employment and income for these communities, the use of sugarcane leaves as a <strong>natural fuel is less polluting than traditional fuels<\/strong> <strong>used by the sugar industry<\/strong>, which contributes positively to the environment.<\/li><\/ul><p>The <strong>circular economy<\/strong> not only <strong>brings environmental benefits<\/strong> but <strong>also generates sustainable, inclusive, and resilient economic opportunities in contexts of poverty<\/strong>. Initiatives like those of CODESPA demonstrate that, with innovation and a community-based approach, waste can be transformed into wealth and rural communities can become leaders of change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-414461f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"414461f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CODESPA promueve emprendimientos de econom\u00eda circular para mejorar las condiciones de vida de personas en situaci\u00f3n de exclusi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8548,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[472,467,444,494,440,495,474,496,473,469,476,471,468],"class_list":["post-9181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-about-our-projects","tag-circular-economy","tag-codespa","tag-codespa-catalunya-foundation","tag-colombia","tag-development-cooperation","tag-entrepreneurships","tag-environment","tag-peru","tag-philippines","tag-rural-communities","tag-social-project","tag-sustainable-development","tag-vulnerable-groups"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
