WFO has been instrumental in finding solutions to tackle marine litter since 2011. Several projects have been set up, going from developing the best trash catcher to producing the first detergent bottle with ocean plastics from the Rio Bay, collected during the Olympic Games.
Now, WFO wishes to set up a regional plastics recycling centre in the Dominican Republic to educate the local population, bring the best recycling technology in the world to this region and produce WFO emergency-homes to respond to the massive housing deficit and future hurricane threats.
This project will be supported by the World Bank, EU Commission, local investors and the Vinci Group and will be presented during a seminar on 18 April 2018 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
