Reciclados Industriales

What Reciclados Industriales does

Reciclados Industriales de Colombia SAS, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Cota, Cundinamarca, is the first Colombian company dedicated to the recovery and reuse of construction and demolition waste (RCD). The company operates three processing plants — Cota (Parque La Florida), Girardota (Antioquia), and La Calera — along with a national mobile machinery fleet for on-site crushing and classification. Its product portfolio spans more than 20 recycled aggregate SKUs compliant with IDU 2011, IDU 2018, and INVIAS 2022 specifications (granular bases and subbases types A/B/C, rajoncillo, afirmado, terraplenes, fill materials, and asphalt subbase), supplemented by the Novo Ecoprefabricados concrete prefabricates sub-brand.

The company runs a Bureau Veritas-certified laboratory for material quality control and holds regulated RCD manager status under Ministry of Environment Resolution 472/2017 and registration in the Secretaría Distrital de Ambiente Ecodirectorio. Service lines include certified RCD disposal with digital certificates, on-site mobile crushing, nationwide machinery rental with operators, ecodemolition, sustainable civil works execution, and specialized drywall disposal. Its 24/7 material reception without prior authorization and three-plant footprint are designed to compress logistics costs in a transport-heavy commodity business.

Reciclados Industriales sells primarily to enterprise construction and infrastructure clients under quote-based, project-by-project pricing. Named customers include Amarilo, Conconcreto, Marval, Cusezar, Colpatria, the Alcaldía de Bogotá, and Acueducto de Bogotá. A 2022 strategic alliance with EPM (Empresas Públicas de Medellín) extended operations into Valle de Aburrá. The company is privately held and founder-led by Alejandro Vallejo Arias (Co-Founder and Director of Business and Sustainability), with one disclosed institutional funding round of approximately $2.2M from FCP Emprendimiento e Innovación SP in August 2017.
