The resources will be used in communication and environmental education campaigns in Costa Rica, so that consumers learn how to deliver materials to the collection centers and that way increase the volume of plastic recovery before it reaches landfills or water sources.
You can help us strengthen the value chain of our allies, the grassroots recyclers, giving priority to those centers that are led by and employ more women. In these cases, we will be able to offer better purchase prices and provide them with technical support for their own business expansion plans.
Our measure of success will be the number of people sensitized to the process and the increase in tons of plastic material for recycling that reaches our value chain. We will be able to measure this because we keep detailed control of the material received from each collection center.
