Costa Rica represented less than 0.1 percent of the total amount of world waste exports by the end of 2020, however; it can make a transition to a circular economy through this international trade trend. This article explores the determinants that propel Costa Rica to participate in this type of international trade. Through the application of a Poisson pseudo maximum-likelihood gravity model with a 2018 cross-sectional database of 47 countries, it is determined that Gross Domestic Product of importing countries, their population sizes, their services sectors’ size in terms of GDP, as well as their environmental performance, are all significant determinants. Trade of wastes should not be a form of exporting problems to other nations, but a means to take the local circular economy to a global scale. Como la economía circular ha evolucionado en un nuevo modelo de desarrollo, el comercio internacional de desperdicios, chatarra, y residuos, ha crecido con una relevancia significativa en este nuevo siglo. Costa Rica representó menos del 0.1 por ciento del total de la cantidad de exportaciones de desperdicios hacia el final del 2020, sin embargo, puede realizar una transición hacia una economía circular a través de su participación en esta tendencia del comercio internacional. Este artículo explora los determinantes que impulsan a Costa Rica a participar en este tipo de comercio internacional. A través de la aplicación de un modelo de gravedad Poisson de pseudo máxima verosimilitud, con una base de datos de corte transversal del 2018 de 47 países, se determina que el Ingreso Nacional Bruto per cápita de los países importadores de desperdicio, los tamaños de sus poblaciones, el tamaño del sector servicios como porcentaje de valor agregado del Producto Interno Bruto, así como su desenvolvimiento ambiental, son todos determinantes relevantes. El comercio de desperdicios no debe ser una forma de exportar problemas a otros países, pero un medio de llevar la economía circular local a una escala global.
