PLASTICDIESEL COSTA RICA, from the plastic waste that floods Costa Rica and the world, produces Diesel (85%), Gasoline and Kerosene, as by-products. The UNDP (United Nations Development Program) indicates that more than 250 tons of plastic are produced per day in Costa Rica, of which 9% is recycled, 11% goes to municipal dumps, and the rest to rivers, lakes, and the sea. It allows the conversion of plastic waste into a high consumption good, with a direct benefit in energy, tourism, and health activities. PLASTICDIESEL contributes to the reduction of the ecological footprint.
