Mexico's new coastal program lets beachgoers trade recycled waste for everyday goods like coffee and plants. The initiative spans three states and aims to transform how citizens view beach trash.

Mexico's government partnered with Tetra Pak to remove hundreds of kilograms of trash from six beaches, kicking off an ambitious five-year plan to protect the country's coastlines. It's the first wave of cleanups targeting single-use plastics and building recycling infrastructure at beaches nationwide.
