What Triciclos does

TriCiclos is a Chilean circular economy operator founded in 2007 and headquartered in Santiago, Chile, that delivers end-to-end waste management and material recovery services to companies, communities, and institutions. Its service portfolio spans five interlocking offerings: Venta de Puntos Limpios (clean point infrastructure sales), Operación de Puntos Limpios (clean point operations), Centros de Acopio (collection and valorization centers), Proyectos Circulares (custom circular economy consulting and project design), and Logística y trazabilidad de materiales (logistics with material traceability across the collection-to-processing chain). Operationally, the company runs a headquarters office in Las Condes and a warehouse/distribution facility in Renca, executing a direct, consultative sales motion with bespoke pricing per engagement.

The company's underlying technology is a proprietary material traceability system that tracks recyclable materials from collection through processing to final destination, layered on top of physical clean-point and collection-center infrastructure. Its customer base is horizontally segmented across Empresas (businesses, primary), Comunidades (communities), and Instituciones (institutions), with no disclosed named-anchor customers. Revenue mechanics are project- and service-based: infrastructure sales, recurring operations contracts, and custom circular-economy project fees — pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, has 11–50 employees, and is led by CEO Gonzalo Muñoz. It is a member of the Sistema B certified B-corp community in Chile, positioning itself within the broader regenerative business movement in Latin America.
