Sustainability isn't just a looming trend in Costa Rica; it's a responsibility assumed with conviction. As part of its environmental actions, the park has consolidated an active recycling program in partnership with the Municipality of Liberia. In the last two weeks, more than 170 kilos of reusable materials were collected, sorted, and delivered to the local government's collection center.

An initiative with direct impact

This effort goes beyond the park's internal operations. It involves coordination, staff training, and an organizational culture that prioritizes proper waste management. Every bottle, carton, or container separated prevents it from reaching landfills and contributes to a longer and more responsible lifecycle for materials.

Commitment that is lived day by day

At Ponderosa in Costa Rica, recycling isn't a one-off activity. It's integrated into cleaning routines, both in food service areas and visitor areas. There are designated stations for waste separation, and employees are trained to ensure the process is effective and consistent.

Alliance with the Municipality of Liberia

The collaboration with the local government has allowed for the proper channeling of recovered materials. More than 170 kilos were delivered in two weeks, including paper, cardboard, PET plastic, and aluminum. This collaboration strengthens the local circular economy and promotes a culture of environmental co-responsibility between the private sector and the authorities.

Results that inspire

The number alone is significant, but the message behind it is even more important: every action counts. From the tourist who separates their bottle in the correct place to the team that transports the material to the drop-off point, everyone is part of the same purpose: to care for the environment around us.

Environmental education in action

This program also has an educational component. Through clear signage and visible practices, Ponderosa in Costa Rica communicates to its visitors and employees the importance of reducing waste and acting consciously. The park thus becomes a space where tourism and sustainability can coexist without conflict.

Towards a cleaner and more conscious future

Recycling is just one part of the environmental commitment that ponderosa undertakes in Costa Rica. These types of actions are small in scale but large in their collective impact. With each delivery, with each recovered material, the idea is reinforced that a tourist destination can also be an agent of change for its community and its natural environment.
