This is the biggest recycling plant in Costa Rica and is one of four that exports materials in the country. They are a US based company. They process plastic and cardboards for any contaminants before compressing them into bales. This is part of the linear system as recycling is the best thing that can happen within this system. Everything in this plant is exported across the world, for example to China to make shirts or Peru to be made into bottles. The plastics that can’t be recycled are shipped and sold as fuel to be incinerated.
