Destination Zero Waste Menorca | TUI Group

Like many coastal areas, the island of Menorca is facing a plastic pollution crisis. Each year, the island generates more than 100 kg of plastic waste per person, yet only a small fraction is recycled. 75% of the plastics collected on Menorca end up in landfill, while 14% are exported for recycling. With more than 400 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline, Menorca’s beaches also receive large quantities of unwelcome macro and microplastics. To tackle this crisis, the TUI Care Foundation is working in partnership with Menorca Preservation to reduce solid waste in the natural environment.
