Simple and Efficient Steps to Recycle
Plastic Bottles at Home
At REGEN, we believe that every small action counts to protect the planet. Recycling your plastic bottles is a simple and effective way to contribute to the environment from your home. Follow these steps to recycle properly and make a difference:
Empty the bottles completely
Make sure there is no liquid left in the bottle. This facilitates the recycling process and prevents bad odors or contamination.
Rinse and Clean
Wash the bottle with water to remove any residue or impurities. This step is essential to ensure that the plastic is clean and suitable for recycling.
Remove Labels and Caps
Separate the labels and caps from the bottles. While both are recyclable, they are often processed separately. Store the caps in a separate container for proper handling.
Crush the Bottles
Reduce the volume of the bottles by crushing them carefully. This saves space in your recycling area and makes it easier to transport them to collection centers.
Sort and Store
Separate the bottles by type of plastic if required by your local recycling center. Use a clean and dry container to store the bottles until you take them for recycling.
Deliver to Collection Centers or Local Programs
Identify nearby recycling centers or participate in collection programs. In Costa Rica, many communities have sustainable initiatives that make recycling accessible and convenient.
With these steps, recycling plastic bottles at home becomes a practical and responsible task. At REGEN, we are committed to caring for the environment and invite you to be part of this positive change.
Together, we can make a difference!
