Haiti: plastic recycling. Ramase lajan, meaning "picking up money" in creol, is a nationwide jobs and plastic recycling program developed by Executives Without Borders and various international and local partners. The program created a network of neighborhood community collection centers across the country where haitians turn in recyclables and are paid a fair market price for their hard work. The community centers are operated by haitian entrepreneurs who work with their staff to crush and transport these recyclables to a local business, haiti recycling, who transforms the materials into commodities that are sold on the world market.
