Every September, thousands of people around the world turn their attention to the coast. It is a month when communities, organizations, and volunteers come together to remove waste and raise awareness about its impact. The goal is also to protect coastal ecosystems.<\/p>\n

This year, Cap Cana Foundation once again joined this effort with a cleanup<\/a> at Macao Beach. The result was significant: 677.4 kilograms of waste removed from the coastline in a single day.<\/p>\n

The activity took place on September 18 and brought together 107 people. Volunteers, Cap Cana team members, residents, public institutions, and tourism industry partners took part. In total, they filled 88 bags.<\/p>\n

More than half was recyclable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the 677.4 kilograms collected, 381.8 kg were recyclable materials, accounting for more than half of the total.<\/p>\n

Glass represented the largest amount, at 288 kg. The collection also included 74 kg of PET, 12.8 kg of aluminum, and 7 kg of HDPE.<\/p>\n

These materials will be reintegrated into recycling and recovery processes. This helps prevent them from remaining in the coastal environment or ending up in landfills.<\/p>\n

The remaining 295.6 kg consisted of general waste. It was disposed of according to established waste management protocols.<\/p>\n

Sorting the collected waste also helps identify the types of materials reaching our shores. This information can help define the problem and encourage better practices to reduce waste at its source.<\/p>\n
