Structural Limitations

Plastics are a problem to Bonaire because:

  • We have limited recycling facilities on island.
  • Many plastics cannot be recycled and the landfill at Lagrun is full.
  • Transporting plastic off the island is not profitable.
  • COVID creates new single use-plastics, like masks and gloves.
