The idea was born in 2017, when Marcela Carranza, CEO and founder of Prende Enterprises, was observing a product and realized we recycled the plastic, metal, carboard and paper of a container but not the human talent involved in the creation of the product i.e., artistic work involved in the making of the logo/art of the product.
