1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Caribbean Recycling Foundation Inc. is a non-profit organization
incorporated under the laws of Puerto Rico on September 26, 1994
for the purposes of increasing public awareness of environmental 
and recycling issues and to promote environmental awareness 
through  different community programs. 

To achieve these goals the Foundation has established three programs: 
Educational, Municipal Collections and Industrial Collections. The 
Educational Program will promote and educate the public on
environmental and recycling issues. Programs currently in place 
include the Caribbean Recycling Journal and a school educational 
program. The school educational program has provided tours of 
Environmental Plastics to 10 schools to date and there are plans to 
develop educational materials such as videos. The Municipal 
Collections program will work with the Municipalities and other local 
organizations to promote recycling collection programs with over 30 
municipalities which will begin in June 1995.  The Industrial Collection 
program will work with industry to promote and develop recycling 
programs.

been prepared on the accrual basis. The significant policies followed 
are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial 
statements to the reader.

services.

INVENTORY- Inventory consisting of promotional materials is  carried at 
cost and charged to expense when distributed to the public.

of the Foundation and the preparation of  recycling contracts with the 
Municipalities were capitalized and are amortized over a period of 36 
months using the straight-line method.

the applicable membership period.

CONTRIBUTIONS- Pledges for contributions are recorded as revenues 
when formal promise to contribute is made by the donor.
