Since Plusambiente S.A. was founded in 2009, they have been working together to create a better environment. Recently, the mining industry has taken off in Ecuador, which has caused a lot of land to be contaminated by things such as acid, heavy metal levels, and mining tailings. Plusambiente S.A. saw this potential environmental hazard and came up with an innovation to reduce it. Pluambiente S.A.'s innovation is the development of a polymer. This polymer helps successfully reduce acid, heavy metal levels, and mining tailings from these mining sites. Following this treatment, the tailings can be properly disposed of or used as valuable raw materials again. This has allowed the contaminated land caused by the mining industry to be used again for other purposes rather than being unusable. Plusambiente S.A.'s innovation helps solve two critical SDGs; sustainable cities and communities and life on land. The polymer is helping reduce the environmental impact of the mining industry on land which is then helping Ecuadorian cities be able to reuse that land for other things. Plusambiente S.A. is doing a lot to help battle the effects on the mining industry.
