I would like to inform you that IECR is promoting the recycling of garbage produced by the Institute by the usage of special garbage cans for each type of garbage.
Our objective is to try to add this “garbage” to material to be recycled.In Costa Rica we are trying to reuse the garbage of the pineapple and oil palm trees which are produced in our country so as to convert them into raw material for house construction. This would result in important benefits because more than one and a half million of tons of pineapple waste are produced every year. So the production of boards would mean an important input to the national construction industry.
This technique which consists in using the waste of pineapples and palm trees is being developed by the Technological Institute of Costa Rica (ITCR). The products are boards which are similar to those used called “agglomerates”.
We invite you to support these and more initiatives like the mentioned one so as to protect our planet.
