HOUSTON, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Real Leaders Media has featured Rick Perez, Founder and CEO of Avangard Innovative, along this year’s list of “Immigrants That Helped Change The World”. The list recognizes immigrant entrepreneurs who have successfully built and grown their business while positively impacting their industry, their community and the world. Rick Perez is featured along mold-breaking immigrant entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Co-Founder of PayPal, Tesla and Space X, Indra Nooyi, CEO PepsiCo, Sergei Brin, Co-Founder of Google, and Elaine Chao, US Secretary of Transportation.

Rick Perez, CEO of Avangard Innovative, has created the Fitbit, the iPhone and the Google Home of the Waste and Recycling Industry.

“I am humbled and honored to be featured along a list of such accomplished business visionaries. The most important aspect of what I do every day lies in the positive impact we can generate at a local, regional and global level.”

Rick Perez, who arrived in the United States from Mexico when he was eight years old, founded one of the world’s largest waste and recycling optimization companies (with operations in 13 countries) believing in the importance of viewing problems with the fresh eyes of an immigrant. “I surrounded myself of people with an ability to look at partners around the world from a local perspective. The problems, and solutions, in America might not be approached the same way in El Salvador or Singapore. We find the best practice to fit that particular market, with an ability to scale like we do in the United States.”

For Perez, this diversity has spilled over into technology, where he identified the opportunity to use artificial intelligence and big data analytics in managing and monetizing large companies’ waste streams. “Today, we are the Fitbit, the iPhone or the Google Home of commercial recycling. We have turned around the industry into managing waste and recyclables like any other valuable asset. This is a game changer for any company’s bottom-line, but most importantly, for the environment as we focus on circular economy solutions that capture and process recyclables correctly, putting them back into the supply chain instead of ending up in the ocean or landfills. After all, our planet is worth it.”
