Full Circle Belize

Overview

Full Circle Belize (FCB) is a locally-based and youth-driven business project that:

• Collects and transforms plastic waste into beautiful and customized marble-like everyday products (such as furniture, tiles, food bowls, and flowerpots).

• Educates about environmental responsibility at the local and national levels.

• Trains youths, ages 18 to 35, to implement the project's ongoing work while developing their entrepreneurial and advocacy skills.

Plastic recycling services

With a total of 17 convenient drop-off locations spread across the beautiful Cayo, Stann Creek, and Toledo districts, we are committed to making recycling easy and accessible for everyone. We gladly accept cleaned plastics with classifications 1, 2, 4, and 5, encompassing items like juice, shampoo, and detergent bottles, as well as yogurt, milk, and other food containers, along with plastic bags.
