In 2018, the Global Recycling Foundation created Global Recycling Day, in order to “to help recognize, and celebrate, the importance recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources & securing the future of our planet.”

The Foundation aims to achieve two objectives with Global Recycling Day:

1. 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.
2. 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 accord recycled goods the true value and repurpose they deserve.
