About us
Recycling is a brilliant way to help our planet fight climate change. It’s a key part of the circular economy, helping to protect the earth’s dwindling natural resources. That’s what Global Recycling Day is all about – a day for the world to come together and put the planet first.
Every year we celebrate #RecyclingHeroes around the globe.
Why Recycling Matters?
Conservation of Resources: Recycling reduces the need for extracting, refining, and processing raw materials, thereby conserving natural resources.
Energy Savings
Recycling materials like aluminium and paper saves significant amounts of energy compared to producing them from virgin materials.
Pollution Reduction
Recycling helps reduce air and water pollution by minimizing waste and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Seventh Resource
Recyclables are considered the Seventh Resource, essential for sustainable development. Recognizing recyclables as a resource encourages responsible consumption and waste management practices.
