Global Recycling Day was created in 2018 to help recognize, and celebrate, the importance recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a day for the world to come together, and put the planet first.

It’s mission is two fold:

To tell world leaders that recycling is simply too important not to be a global issue, and that a common, joined up approach to recycling is urgently needed.
To ask people across the planet to think resource, not waste, when it comes to the goods around us – until this happens we simply won’t award recycled goods the true value and repurpose they deserve.

DON’T THINK WASTE.
THINK OPPORTUNITY!

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.

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.
