Latin America plastic waste reduction

Entities: Mazatlán · Secretaría de Turismo de México · Roy Navarrete Cuevas · Moisés Ríos Pérez · Ángel García Contreras

Overview

In early July, corporate actors in Mexico adopted circular‑design practices to cut single‑use plastics, while Chile highlighted how plastic contamination jeopardises composting of organic waste. By late July, the focus broadened to community‑level actions: volunteers in Mexico’s Yucatán cleaned a beach and sorted waste for recycling, and a recycling lab in Ecuador’s capital taught residents how to separate and repurpose materials.

In late July, Mazatlán, Mexico, experienced a tourism boom and heightened security concerns, but the city also launched a statewide beach‑cleaning drive called “ECO Sinaloa, tu acción es el eco” and a night‑time patrol to safeguard nesting sea turtles. These municipal actions extend the region’s waste‑reduction momentum, linking high‑visibility tourism and safety efforts with concrete beach‑cleaning and environmental protection measures.
