Costa Rica sets 2021 goal for ban on plastics

Soon plastic waste will no longer clog up Costa Rica’s landfills. The  country has announced it will embark on a single-use plastics ban by 2021.

Costa Rica wants to become the world’s first country to achieve a comprehensive national strategy to eliminate single-use plastics. The aim to eliminate single-use plastics coincides with Costa Rica’s 2021 goal of being carbon neutral — which was set a decade ago.
