Project Overview

This project will prevent plastic litter from entering the marine environment in Dominica by turning locally generated HDPE and other plastics into valuable, market-ready products through a circular economy business model. By establishing a waste-to-product facility, the initiative creates a complete value chain from local collection to transformation and sale through domestic and international markets. The model shows that plastic recycling can be both economically viable and community-driven, delivering environmental protection, local jobs, and a scalable solution that can inspire similar efforts across the Caribbean.
