Project
Second Life
The corporate response to hospitality textile waste.
We transform the hospitality industry's largest environmental liability into a vital asset for animal rescue and welfare.
The Problem
Millions of linens discarded for minuscule stains.
To maintain 5-star standards, hotels discard tons of sheets and towels each year that have minor wear or irreparable but harmless stains.
On the other hand, animal shelters operate constantly in the red, using newspapers or cardboard to mitigate the cold for rescues, lacking basic and sterile supplies for post-operative areas.
The Solution (Upcycling)
Harmony Ark Foundation serves as the logistical and manufacturing bridge between corporate waste and animal need.
ESG Collection
We extract the material from hotel docks, saving them disposal costs and issuing an ESG certificate for their positive impact.
Local Manufacturing
Sheets and quilts are redesigned and sewn to create commercial-grade orthopedic beds. Towels are sterilized for shelter surgeries.
Sale and Subsidy
50% of the beds created are donated to shelters. The other 50% are sold to the public at market price to fund vaccines and rescue surgeries.
Current Traction
12 Associated Chains
Including Marriott and Hilton, currently operating in CDMX and Riviera Maya.
Proprietary Logistics (Ark App)
Proprietary technology to manage collection routes and material traceability via blockchain.
1,250 kg Rescued
Material successfully transformed in the last 14 months of pilot.
"They used to sleep on cold cement. Today they sleep on beds made from 600-thread sheets."
The Ask
We seek to expand our logistical operation to cover the entire Mexican Republic.
Logistical Investment
Funding for 3 medium-duty collection trucks and working capital for 6 months of expansion in Cancun.
New Partnerships
We seek to integrate 20 new hotels into the network before Q4 2026. In-kind contributions of waste are welcome today.
