Garbage disposal is a global issue, especially in developing countries like Brazil. Waste recycling public programs are not present in any major cities in the country. As a result, recycling depends on the population, who are neither encouraged nor adequately instructed on the matter.

In order to encourage people to recycle their trash, boost local businesses, help recyclable waste collectors (a common activity in Brazil), and especially create a sustainable network, Lix was created. Is “Lix” a strange word? Yes, maybe. But "garbage" is “Lixo” in Portuguese, so Lix, despite sounding strange in English, is a witty way to reference the word “garbage” in the Brazilian language.

Lix is an app that gives you discounts in stores if you correctly discard your recyclable waste. You can discard it at participating businesses, where you can use your coupons, or with recyclable waste collectors, who you can contact through the app
