Global Recycling Day is observed annually on 18 March and aims to highlight recycling as an important global issue that requires an integrated approach and urges people to think "resource", not "waste" when it comes to the goods around us. With the mounting pressure on natural resources this day also reminds us that, at an individual level, we have the power to consider and choose what we consume and that we can "rethink, reduce, reuse and recycle". To commemorate Global Recycle Day in 2024 we engaged with kids to raise their awareness about recycling and get them involved in a creative way, while showing them that "one man's trash is another man's treasure" - click to learn more: https://lnkd.in/d6uCJR9b #globalrecyclingday #recycle #education #biospherereserve #gouritsclusterbiospherereserve #reducereuserecycle #rethinkwaste #upcycle #trashtotreasure

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council recently revealed almost 40% of its recycling is contaminated ⚠️, launching an appeal for residents to "put their waste in the right place". Recycling contamination occurs when non-recyclable ❌ items are mixed with recyclable materials, either through improper sorting or the inclusion of items that are not free from contaminants, such as food residue 🍕. Contamination of recycling is problematic for several reasons, including increased recycling costs 💷, since contaminated recycling streams require additional sorting and processing, reduced quality of recyclable materials 📉, and potential hazards for waste workers ☠️. To combat recycling contamination, we need to educate and inform ourselves about what can and cannot be recycled in our local areas 📍. Revisit our blog to find out more about recycling contamination and its impact 💻https://okt.to/fGrhdq and use our Recycling Locator tool to learn what items can be recycled in your local area, to reduce contamination 🔗 https://okt.to/5zgfV4 #recyclingcontamination #dirtyrecycling #recycling #reducecontamination

The Global Recycling Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing sustainable development and recycling awareness, founded Global Recycling Day in 2018. The United Nations recognises the day, which is observed globally. Since then, it has grown into an annual event that unites people, groups, and governments to support recycling and environmentally friendly behaviour. The day offers an opportunity to educate people about the harm that trash causes to the ecosystem and to motivate them to take action to save the earth for future generations.
