Tola Region Nicaragua - truck project

We have given 5,000 people and 8 communities access to recycling:
+ El Astillero
+ San Martin
+ Popoyo
+ Las Salinas
+ La Virgen Morena
+ El Huigeral
+ San Ignacio
+ El Limon

In just a few weeks, we have brought plastic bottle pollution under control for around 5,000 people through our impact truck project. We can collect and recycle around 95% of the bottles. Lids and rings become new products and PET bottles are sold in Managua.

There are three stakeholder groups:

Group 1: Sell their bottles to us. They receive CHF 0.05 per pound (our beneficiaries have an average daily budget of CHF 0.65). We sell the bottles without lids and rings for CHF 0.13 to the Compañía Recicladora GER Nicaragua, which compacts the bottles and sells them on the international market (mainly Honduras and the USA) to produce new PET bottles.

With the difference of CHF 0.08 we try to cover the costs of the driver and diesel. At present, the impact truck project is not yet self-supporting. The aim is to be able to cover the costs by September 2024.

Group 2: People donate their bottles and are happy that they don't have to burn them or throw them into nature.

Group 3: Restaurants, hotels and other companies can take out memberships with us so that we can collect their plastic bottles.

This truck measure will enable us to get the plastic bottle pollution problem under control and give the population in the rural areas of Nicaragua access to the plastic market, thereby improving their income.
