By interviewing Dulce Nallely Rojas Pérez, who serves as Capeltic's manager for the Puebla local branch (Iberoamericana University), we have been able to learn about a solidarity economy project.
Capeltic belongs to a group of companies of solidarity economy called "Yomol A'tel". This group consists of Tseltal families from the state of Chiapas, Mexico, as well as collaborators who together work for social justice and defending its territory, generating self-sustaining social and business growth. These families and collaborators have organized themselves into different cooperatives which together make up the value chain from the producer of coffee and honey, to the group of coffee shops:
TS'UMBAL XITALHA, a cooperative made up of coffee and honey-producing families.
BATS´IL MAYA, a company that provides solidarity toaster of the coffee and marketer of the finished product.
CAPELTIC, a group of coffee shops that generates the added value of coffee, being the link between the producer and the final consumer, between the Tseltal and western culture.
CHABTIC, a honey marketing company.
XAPONTIC, cooperative women who with natural ingredients, honey and coffee produce soaps and personal hygiene products.

This innovation contributes to the SDG 12 of Responsible Consumption and Production, not only for the development of agroecological production systems, but also for the efficient use of the resources within production and commercialization. It can also be a contributor for SDG 2, helping with reducing world hunger, since it promotes local production practices at reasonable costs and affordable prices; and SDG 3 for promoting a healthy life. Futhermore, this entrepreneurship contributes also to SDG 11, since it was thought from the very beginning to be placed in a marginalized community in order to make it flourish.
As a leading design-printing service, AAA Flag and Banner is making strides towards a more eco-friendly approach to printing through its use of upcycling and recyclable vinyl. In traditional printing companies, after a client displays their banner, it will be brought to a landfill for disposal. AAA Flag and Banner’s model encourages sustainability by “Being more conscious about all of the waste our company brings about and trying to find a better way to manage that while, at the same time, providing a feasible outlet for our clients to recycle” reports Chief of Staff Breånna Clapp.
The company provides solutions and added value to each of the projects in which they participate, fulfilling each of the requirements of their customers and always trying to exceed their expectations in terms of delivery times price and quality.
Waste can be categorized into several types: paper, plastic, organic and non-organic. These can create environmental issues if not treated and disposed of properly.
Sources of wastes can be from a variety of places including homes, industries, offices and production facilities. Nara BePro focuses on companies with wastes from offices and production sites. The innovation done by Nara Bepro is conversion of these wastes through the principle of 3R (re-use, reduce and recycle) where they start from education, picking, converting and returning with commercialization to the companies.
During the conversion, the wastes are converted into more value-added products and society is also involved in process.
