28 Kilos Of Plastic Bottle Caps Recycled In Costa Rica Will Help Create Accessible Beaches

(MENAFN- Costa Rica News) Thanks to the recycling of plastic bottle caps, a handful of Costa Rican beaches have become tourist destinations friendly to people with disabilities. This is a social and environmental responsibility project promoted by the Costa Rican Accessible Tourism Network, which seeks to transform waste into real opportunities for inclusion.

Environmental Management Program

In this context, the Ombudsman's Office, through its Institutional Environmental Management Program (PIGA), recently delivered 28.5 kilograms of plastic bottle caps to the Fénix Recycling Plant, located in Cervantes de Alvarado.

These bottle caps were collected by staff at the Ombudsman's Office headquarters as part of their active participation in the Donatapa campaign, an initiative that converts this type of waste into 100% recycled plastic lumber.

This material is used to manufacture innovative products such as retractable walkways and amphibious chairs, enabling people with disabilities to access the country's beaches in safe, comfortable, and equal conditions.

The delivery of this recyclable materia not only prevents plastic bottle caps from polluting the environment but also allows them to be repurposed, aligned with the principles of sustainability and inclusion. For the Ombudsman's Office, this action represents another step in its commitment to social well-being and environmental protection.

Contributing to social change

“Collecting bottle caps is not just a symbolic action, but a concrete way to contribute to social change and the development of accessible tourism in harmony with nature,” the institution stated.

Furthermore, in keeping with this philosophy, the Ombudsman's Office recently installed a collection unit for expired or unused medications, located at its headquarters in Barrio México. This measure seeks to promote proper disposal of these products and strengthen environmental education among the public.-
