In Chile, a project is changing how we view wood and its potential for the environment and society. Led by Elisava Alumni and Ambassador Joaquín Acevedo, alongside Joaquín Cuevas, Reviste rises as an innovative and social solution in the realm of the circular economy.

Breathing Life into Reclaimed Wood

Reviste is not just a sustainable cladding company; it’s a movement that embraces the idea that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. Its focus on using reclaimed wood from industries such as construction and agriculture reduces waste and promotes awareness of the importance of harnessing existing resources rather than consuming new ones.

But Reviste goes beyond being a sustainable products company. Its commitment to social innovation is evident in its partnership with the Chilean Gendarmerie, where individuals deprived of liberty can acquire new skills and generate income while serving their sentences. This approach gives them a second chance and contributes to constructing a fairer and more equitable system.

The Environmental and Social Impact of Reviste

In a country where a significant portion of waste comes from the construction industry, Reviste stands out as a comprehensive solution. In addition to reducing the environmental footprint, the company is creating jobs and promoting the labor reintegration of individuals in vulnerable situations. With the support of committed companies like Minera Escondida, Arauco, Tecnofast, and Redbull, Reviste is building claddings, opportunities, and hope for a more sustainable future.

Behind this transformative initiative is Joaquín Acevedo, an Elisava Alumni who has taken his passion for sustainable design and social responsibility to the next level.
