More About Global Recycling Day

GLOBAL RECYCLING DAY

Every year on March 18, Global Recycling Day is observed to acknowledge the significance of recycling and encouraging people to not treat waste as something unworthy.

Waste, if recycled and reused properly, could be a valuable resource, and it could benefit our environment in many ways.

On Global Recycling Day, individuals, organizations, and communities come together to raise awareness about sustainable habits and educate about recycling in their day-to-day lives.

Whether you do it on your own or together with a group, every step makes a difference in reducing waste and protecting the planet.

The Global Recycling Foundation created Global Recycling Day in 2018 with the aim to highlight the importance of the role recycling plays in preserving and protecting natural resources to save our planet.

The concept of the “Seventh Resource” that is applicable to recyclable materials was introduced by the Global Recycling Foundation.

With coal, water, air, natural gas, minerals, and oil, recyclables are considered equally important and sustainable.

Global Recycling Day intends to bring issues such as landfill overflow, excessive waste production, pollution, and the necessity for sustainable waste management practices to light.

It also highlights the need to educate people about the impact recycling can have to reduce damage to the environment and conserve energy.

Ever since its establishment, Global Recycling Day has been commemorated annually with different themes based on innovation, sustainability, and responsible consumption.
