Today, our portfolio has grown to include CI Prevent, CI Recycle, CI Recover, and CI Minerals. These product lines represent the epitome of our mission: to integrate cutting-edge technology with the principles of the circular economy, thereby enhancing urban sustainability.

Our projects, from Addis Ababa to Kinshasa, are more than just infrastructure; they are hubs of innovation that empower local communities, improve waste collection through micro-enterprises, and drive the agenda for long-term environmental stewardship.

As we continue to expand, each new venture is a step towards realizing our vision of self-sustaining cities equipped to meet tomorrow's environmental challenges with today’s innovative solutions.
