Dean Putegnat, fundador de Redfish Recycling, imagina un futuro en el que los caracter\u00edsticos contenedores rojos de su empresa estar\u00e1n al final de las entradas de las casas de todo el Valle del R\u00edo Grande.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero, antes de nada, Putegnat debe hacer frente a un enorme aumento de nuevos clientes. El 1 de enero se convirti\u00f3 en el contratista encargado del reciclaje residencial en la acera de la ciudad de Brownsville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abCreemos que, cuando otras ciudades vean que Brownsville est\u00e1 poniendo en marcha un programa de recogida en la acera en toda la ciudad y el efecto que esto tiene en la conservaci\u00f3n de los recursos naturales, querr\u00e1n hacer lo mismo\u00bb, declar\u00f3 Putegnat al Rio Grande Valley Business Journal.\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

McAllen, Harlingen y Edinburg ya cuentan con programas municipales de reciclaje en la acera; la mayor\u00eda de las dem\u00e1s ciudades ofrecen a sus vecinos puntos de recogida centralizados para el reciclaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero Putegnat es decidido y paciente.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para alcanzar su objetivo en Brownsville, tuvo que esperar m\u00e1s de una d\u00e9cada. En 2014, fue seleccionado para participar en el programa piloto de la ciudad, pero la propuesta no fue aprobada en la votaci\u00f3n de la comisi\u00f3n municipal. Desde entonces, la composici\u00f3n de los cargos electos ha cambiado.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El a\u00f1o pasado, Redfish Recycling se adjudic\u00f3 un contrato de 4 millones de d\u00f3lares, <\/a>con una duraci\u00f3n de 7 a\u00f1os<\/a> y opciones de renovaci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De un proyecto piloto a un contrato para toda la ciudad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Putegnat mantuvo a flote la empresa durante a\u00f1os gracias a los contratos de reciclaje comercial, que suelen resultar m\u00e1s econ\u00f3micos que tirar todo a un contenedor de basura.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\u00abNos introdujimos en este mercado con el reciclaje para ayudar a las empresas a ahorrar dinero y contribuir al bienestar del planeta\u00bb, afirm\u00f3. \u00abEse concepto no exist\u00eda aqu\u00ed [en Brownsville]. Empezamos poco a poco y hemos ido creciendo a lo largo de 11 a\u00f1os\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hace unos cuatro a\u00f1os, ampli\u00f3 su actividad al reciclaje dom\u00e9stico, ofreciendo un servicio de suscripci\u00f3n para hogares de Brownsville, Palm Valley, Los Fresnos y Rancho Viejo. M\u00e1s recientemente, incluso ha conseguido clientes dom\u00e9sticos en la nueva ciudad de Starbase y a SpaceX como cliente comercial de reciclaje.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antes de conseguir el contrato en Brownsville, solo el servicio de suscripci\u00f3n residencial de esa localidad abarcaba 1.500 hogares; ahora, 48.500 hogares se han inscrito en el programa de reciclaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ampliaci\u00f3n de las operaciones<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Para hacer frente al aumento de la demanda, la empresa adquiri\u00f3 cinco nuevos camiones de reciclaje, contrat\u00f3 a seis repartidores m\u00e1s y a tres empleados de oficina adicionales, con lo que la plantilla total asciende a unos 30 empleados.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adem\u00e1s, est\u00e1 incorporando m\u00e1s automatizaci\u00f3n al proceso de su m\u00e1quina clasificadora para gestionar el nuevo volumen de residuos reciclables: unas 7 toneladas por hora, con capacidad adicional para alcanzar las 20 toneladas por hora.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como consecuencia, el ayuntamiento va a cerrar su centro centralizado de recogida de residuos reciclables y lo trasladar\u00e1 a la sede de Redfish, situada en Coffee Road y la carretera nacional 48. La recogida de residuos reciclables de los hogares se realiza cada dos semanas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abRealmente se necesita la implicaci\u00f3n de toda la comunidad para que el reciclaje tenga sentido [desde el punto de vista econ\u00f3mico]\u00bb, afirm\u00f3. \u00abLa tasa de participaci\u00f3n ronda probablemente el 80 %, por lo que el impacto medioambiental de lo que la gente recicla \u2014la conservaci\u00f3n de los recursos naturales, el ahorro de espacio en los vertederos y la protecci\u00f3n del planeta\u2014 es como el d\u00eda y la noche\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasta ahora, la comunidad se ha mostrado receptiva.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abNos sorprendi\u00f3 gratamente, cuando llegaron los primeros camiones, lo limpio que estaba el material\u00bb, dijo Putegnat. \u00abNos esper\u00e1bamos lo peor\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El incremento neto en el coste del reciclaje a pie de calle para un hogar con un solo cubo de basura es de unos 86 c\u00e9ntimos al mes, es decir, unos 10 d\u00f3lares al a\u00f1o.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A d\u00f3nde va el material<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Todos los residuos reciclables se clasifican por material: pl\u00e1stico, aluminio, hojalata y papel, y luego se empaquetan en fardos para facilitar su transporte. El papel y el cart\u00f3n se env\u00edan a f\u00e1bricas de papel situadas en las ciudades mexicanas de Monterrey y Durango, donde se utilizan para fabricar m\u00e1s cajas de cart\u00f3n o papel artesanal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Un

Las botellas de pl\u00e1stico fabricadas con polietileno tereftalato (PET) se env\u00edan a una planta de reciclaje en Dallas, donde se lavan, se trituran y se vuelven a convertir en gr\u00e1nulos, para luego revenderse a los fabricantes de pl\u00e1stico.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las botellas y jarras de polietileno de alta densidad (HDPE) se env\u00edan a Alabama para su reciclaje y su transformaci\u00f3n en envases de pl\u00e1stico de un gal\u00f3n que se utilizan para la pintura.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las latas y cualquier otro metal ferroso se venden a un centro de recogida de chatarra del puerto de Brownsville y, a continuaci\u00f3n, se env\u00edan a una acer\u00eda para su reutilizaci\u00f3n. Las latas de aluminio se venden a una empresa de fundici\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninguno de los productos reciclados se env\u00eda al extranjero, a China, a diferencia de lo que hac\u00edan muchas empresas de reciclaje durante a\u00f1os, antes de que el pa\u00eds dejara de aceptar esos cargamentos debido a la excesiva cantidad de material no reciclable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abSimplemente hay mejores mercados nacionales\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 Putegnat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una empresa familiar que se ha transmitido de generaci\u00f3n en generaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El reciclaje no fue la primera profesi\u00f3n de Putegnat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante a\u00f1os, ayud\u00f3 a su padre, Barry, a gestionar un rancho de caza y complejo tur\u00edstico de 11 000 acres en M\u00e9xico conocido como Rancho Caracol \u2014o el Rancho del Caracol\u2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La familia llevaba 50 a\u00f1os cazando en la regi\u00f3n, pero compr\u00f3 el terreno a finales de la d\u00e9cada de 1990 en el estado mexicano de Tamaulipas, justo al norte de Ciudad Victoria \u2014o a unas 150 millas al sur de Brownsville\u2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2010, el coto de caza cerr\u00f3 debido a la violencia de los c\u00e1rteles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00ed pues, Dean Putegnat, propietario de Redfish, decidi\u00f3 dar un giro hacia el reciclaje tras conocer a Kent Longley, fundador de Marck Industries, con sede en Misuri. Redfish es una empresa independiente, no una filial de Marck, pero ambos colaboraron estrechamente para poner en marcha el negocio, del que Kent posee una participaci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La familia Putegnat no es ninguna desconocida en Brownsville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En la d\u00e9cada de 1890, el patriarca de la familia, William Henry Putegnat II, fund\u00f3 \u00abModel Laundry and Dry Cleaning\u00bb<\/a>, empresa que se adjudic\u00f3 un contrato con el Gobierno federal para prestar servicios de lavander\u00eda comercial en Fort Brown \u2014de donde toma su nombre Brownsville\u2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1s de un siglo despu\u00e9s, la familia Putegnat est\u00e1 ahora vinculada a otro servicio fundamental en Brownsville: la recogida y el tratamiento de los residuos reciclables de la ciudad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
