"Imperfekto" is an initiative that collaborates with community heroes who are committed to driving change in the hospitality industry and creating a sustainable cycle for products used in homes, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets.
To recognize and find beauty in the imperfection: that's what a hero does.
Our creativity, perseverance, and bravery define us as Colombians. That's why we are always striving to innovate and address challenges with creative solutions. At Imperfekto, we collaborate with community heroes who are committed to driving change in the hospitality industry. We aim to create a sustainable cycle for products used in homes, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets.
The foundation consists of five fundamental components:
- The collection of organic waste is produced by bars, restaurants, cafes, homes, and supermarkets.
- Transformation of organic matter into compost, fertilizers and natural fermentation sources for new processes.
- Planting agricultural products using these fertilizers and organic compost while also using the organic matter to create unique coffee profiles in collaboration with Felipe from Coffeelipe And Friends.
- Harvesting the new products and distributing them to those involved in the project, who contribute their organic waste monthly, thus receiving fresh organic products in return.
- Educational training to raise awareness in the community about the importance of waste separation.
Logistics are managed in collaboration with Be-Eco for the collection and handling of organic waste. This operation is financially sustained through a monthly subscription, allowing each business or family to be part of the project and receive a shipment of organic, fresh foods each month, positively impacting more than 250 people.
