Nicaragua
In the Rivas region, people can exchange collected plastic with our teams for money or everyday essentials.
The Program at a Glance
This program takes a market-based approach: several times a week, people exchange collected plastic for cash or everyday essentials such as rice, shampoo or school supplies.
This creates a reliable service that reduces waste and generates stable micro-incomes. By processing the plastic further, the local teams earn their own revenue and lay the foundation for a long-term self-sustaining system.
