Kyklos Grand Opening in Chile

Bill Morris (co-Founder of Blue Star Recyclers Founders) was on hand in Santiago, Chile as Kyklos launched a replication of the Blue Star workforce development model in Chile on December 2. At the grand opening of the Kylos operation, seven people with disAbilities were hard at work recycling electronics and creating new jobs, just as the Blue Star teams do in the U.S.

Sebastian Herceg, CEO of Kyklos, visited Blue Star Recyclers in Denver as part of a U.S. State Department exchange program three years ago. In early 2019 Kyklos received funding from Entel (Cellular carrier in Chile) to cover costs of a facility and other initial costs. Kyklos asked Morris to advise them about how to replicate the Blue Star operations in Santiago. Similar to Blue Star’s partnerships, they partnered with Contrabajo, a workforce development NGO in Chile.

Congratulations to Sebastian Herceg and his team at Kyklos!
