Puerto Rican recycling infrastructure is insufficient, and glass is a neglected material. Our team partnered with ENLACE, a community-based organization, to develop a small-scale self-sustaining glass recycling program to mitigate glass pollution in the Martín Peña communities, a historically low-income and underserved region. By analyzing start-up and operational costs, collection methods, and clients, our team compiled a detailed business plan that ENLACE can adapt for grant applications. The business plan is based on a dual-income model that provides free glass recycling services for the Martín Peña communities and charging collection services for neighboring businesses and selling pulverized glass to cement manufacturers.
