📋 Tender Overview
The Salvaplayas 2026 campaign promotes practices to reduce pollution on the Peruvian coast.Just a few days away from starting a new year, celebrations must be carried out responsibly and with respect for the environment. For this reason, the Ministry of the Environment (Minam) promotes responsible practices to protect beaches and urges citizens not to leave waste in public spaces, especially in these ecosystems.
Every year, after the festivities, tons of waste such as plastic or glass bottles, cans, straws, wrappers, disposable Styrofoam containers and cigarette butts end up in the sea, seriously affecting marine biodiversity and contaminating coastal ecosystems.
In this context, the general director of Education, Citizenship and Environmental Information of Minam, Daniel Nunez, called on the population to deposit the waste generated in nearby collection points in order to have healthy beaches. Celebrating also means taking care of our environment, he said.
Likewise, he highlighted the importance of the commitment of merchants to keep public spaces clean, which contributes to strengthening tourism and boosting the countrys economic activity.
Recommendations for beach care
Enjoying the sea and sand also means making a commitment to protect them. Therefore, Minam offers you the following recommendations:
* Place your waste in trash cans and authorized places.
* Avoid using straws, it is estimated that 90% of birds have ingested these single-use plastics.
* Stay hydrated, carrying your everything with you.
* Do not use styrofoam containers; opt for cardboard or reusable containers.
* If you are a merchant, avoid handing out single-use plastic bags.
* Carry your beach accessories in a cloth bag.
It should be noted that Minam has been implementing the Salvaplayas 2026 campaign in 11 regions of the Peruvian coast in order to promote responsible environmental behavior regarding the management of solid waste this summer and the conservation of coastal marine biodiversity.
