In the Dominican Republic we now have several business offering biodegradable packaging available for consumers to buy and eliminate the use of plastic from their every day lives. For example: EcoLuxeRD is a company that distributes and represents international brands of ecological premium tableware for events and catering as well as for personal use (www.ecoluxerd.com); CeroPlast is an eco-shop offering different options and alternatives for single use plastics (www.ceroplast.com); GreenDepot has a complete set of sustainable alternatives to plastic made 100% out of renewable resources (www.greendepot.com.do); EcoSupply has products aimed to lead you to a low impact, convenient and simple lifestyle (www.ecosupply.com.do); among others.

The Dominican Council on Fishing and Aquaculture (CODOPESCA) warned that the waters of the Haina River – situated in Santo Domingo’s southwest region - are highly polluted due to contamination originating from various sources. The Council prohibited all fishing in the river. More information available: www.codopesca.gob.do
