LBS OF PLASTIC COLLECTED FROM CLEANUPS
The EPIC Program incorporates a four pillar hands-on approach to transform plastic pollution: EDUCATION, POLICY, INFRASTRUCTURE & CLEANUP.
A new chapter begins in Chinautla.What stands today as a new sorting centre in Chinautla is more than infrastructure. It is the foundation of a legacy—one built by people, partnerships, and persistence.This milestone represents years of effort, coordination, and belief in something bigger: a future where waste is not left to pollute rivers and coastlines, but is managed, valued, and transformed. From the heart of Chinautla, this work will ripple outward—across communities, across watersheds, and across Guatemala.The impact of this space will be measured not only in tonnes of material sorted, but in the systems it strengthens, the behaviors it shifts, and the opportunities it creates for long-term change.This progress would not be possible without the leadership and dedication of Alianza por la Cuenca del Motagua, alongside the critical work of Haciendo eco, and every individual and organization contributing—whether on the ground or behind the scenes.Real transformation takes time. It takes collaboration. And it takes people willing to build something that lasts.This is just the beginning.#circulareconomy #WasteManagement #plasticpollution #Guatemala #EnvironmentalLeadership #systemschange #CommunityImpact #oceanprotection #SustainableFuture

Important conversations are continuing to take shape across the plastics space this month.We were part of “Plastic Waste: The Next Steps Forward" in Vancouver, hosted by Zero Waste BC, Simon Fraser University, Recycling Council of B.C., and Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions.What stood out most was the growing alignment around where efforts need to go next: prevention, stronger Extended Producer Responsibility systems, scaling reuse, and building a circular economy that actually functions in practice.These discussions matter, but what matters more is ensuring they translate into systems that can handle the realities of marine debris, complex material streams, and end-of-life management.That bridge between policy, innovation, and field experience is where real impact happens.We really appreciate being part of a space that brings those perspectives together!Photo credit: Lucas Harris#CircularEconomy #PlasticPollution #EPR #OceanProtection #Sustainability #MarineDebris #RecyclingSystems #PolicyAndPractice #ZeroWaste #SystemsChange

How many tons of plastics are in the ocean and how did it all get there? Why is ocean plastic a global problem? What are some facts about plastic pollution in our oceans and on our shorelines? Are we eating Microplastics? How do microplastics affect our health? How does ocean plastic affect sea creatures? How should we deal with the recovered plastic from beach cleanups?
