In an era where the global spotlight is firmly on sustainable innovation, Juan Camilo Briceno stands out as a dynamic leader shaping the financial and strategic future of Colombia’s green manufacturing sector. As the Financial Manager (CFO) of ACEBRI, a pioneering company in recycled PET transformation, Briceno has been integral to the firm’s rise since its inception in 2007.
Armed with an impressive academic background—including an MBA with international studies in strategic leadership from Spain, a specialization in Financial Management, and a BBA—Juan combines analytical rigor with a visionary outlook. His international exposure, which includes Chinese language and plastics manufacturing studies in Beijing, empowers him to navigate complex global markets with fluency in Spanish, English, and Mandarin. His engagement at leading global plastics trade fairs such as K Fair (Germany), Chinaplas (China), and NPE (USA) further informs his global approach to sustainable finance.
ACEBRI: Innovating at the Edge of Waste and Value
Based in Colombia, ACEBRI is more than a recycling company—it’s a sustainability movement. Since 2007, it has specialized in the transformation of post-consumer PET waste, particularly materials contaminated with oils and greases that are often neglected by conventional recyclers.
Using proprietary cleaning technology, ACEBRI has developed a closed-loop, high-efficiency recycling system that repurposes PET waste into industrial products such as:
- Egg packaging cartons
- Thermoformed seedling trays
- Floral sheet packaging
- Extruded PET fibers for brooms and brushes
All products are made using 100% recycled materials and are fully recyclable, advancing a circular economy model that reduces dependency on virgin plastics.
ACEBRI also collaborates with recyclers and cooperatives, integrating inclusive economic models that provide employment and training while strengthening the recycling infrastructure in Latin America.
The company’s impact has been recognized by ProColombia and the Colombian government, establishing it as a national benchmark in sustainable plastics with expanding exports across Latin America and imminent entry into the U.S. market.
Why ACEBRI’s Work Matters
As global industries move towards decarbonization and circularity, ACEBRI provides a blueprint for sustainable plastics innovation in emerging markets. It demonstrates how financial discipline, technology, and strategic vision can converge to address plastic waste while creating scalable business value.
Juan Camilo Briceno’s leadership is not only steering ACEBRI’s financial growth but also contributing to a larger conversation about how emerging economies can lead in the green transition.
