CARIBBEAN BASIN ENDOWMENT FUND | GREEN CARIBGreen Carib is building a commercial-scale plastic recycling and reprocessing facility in Jamaica.
Working with hotels and their existing waste haulers, Green Carib will recover plastic generated by Jamaica’s tourism industry and transform it locally into certified recycled materials for global manufacturers.SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE BY DESIGN
Green Carib was intentionally designed around internationally recognized principles of sustainable and resilient infrastructure. Its business model aligns closely with the FAST-Infra Sustainable Infrastructure Label, a framework informed by leading international sustainability standards and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
That alignment can be seen across Green Carib’s environmental, resilience, social, governance and commercial model:ENVIRONMENTAL | Circular Economy & Resource Recovery
• Divert approximately 15,000 tons of plastic annually before it reaches landfill, reducing plastic leakage into Jamaica’s terrestrial and marine environments.
• Recover tourism-generated plastic and keep those materials in productive circulation through local reprocessing.
• Transform recovered plastic into higher-value raw materials for global manufacturing supply chains.RESILIENCE & ADAPTATION | Off-Grid Infrastructure
• Build a hurricane-resilient Material Recovery Facility designed for Jamaica’s climate conditions.
• Operate independently of the electrical grid through Green Carib’s off-grid energy infrastructure.
• Incorporate energy redundancy and business continuity into the facility to maintain critical operations through grid disruptions and extreme-weather events.SOCIAL | Jobs, Housing & Local Economic Participation
• Create stable employment and provide housing benefits for 21 Green Carib employees.
• Integrate Jamaica’s existing waste haulers as logistics partners between participating hotels and Green Carib rather than replacing them.
• Enable participating waste haulers to earn approximately $50,000 in additional annual income, on top of their existing waste-hauling revenue.GOVERNANCE & TRACEABILITY | Measurable Impact
• Establish traceability of recovered material from hotel collection through processing.
• Provide participating hotels with measurable landfill-diversion data to support sustainability reporting and certification.
• Generate material-recovery and landfill-diversion data that can support Jamaican government planning and international environmental reporting.GLOBAL MARKET ACCESS | Certified Recycled Materials
• Develop operations toward ISCC PLUS certification and applicable European Union requirements, including EU Regulations 2022/1616, 10/2011 and 2023/2006, required recycler/installation registration, and EFSA-authorized recycling processes where applicable.
• Use stringent European requirements as a deliberate market-access strategy, creating flexibility to serve manufacturers across both U.S. and European markets.
• Provide U.S. manufacturers seeking certified recycled content with a closer-to-market Caribbean supply source, leveraging Jamaica’s strategic location and port infrastructure to shorten supply chains and reduce transport-related emissions associated with sourcing from more distant markets.Green Carib – Building circular economy infrastructure for island economies.
