Costa Rica has launched a National Plastic Action Roadmap to reduce plastic pollution. The roadmap seeks to strengthen plastic use policies, support financing for material alternatives, enhance stakeholder coordination, promote behavioral change, and ensure a “just transition to a circular economy.”Costa Rica’s targets include decreasing its plastic pollution by 91% in land and water and reaching 54% plastic circularity by 2040. The roadmap uses a data-driven methodology to assess plastic pollution, explore solutions, and outline the path forward.
