A commitment that starts with every choice. World Recycling Day, celebrated every year on May 17, was established by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) with the aim of promoting global awareness of the importance of reusing and recovering the waste we produce every day. This date is a call for collective action, highlighting the need to adopt a more sustainable and conscious behavior, both at the individual and corporate level.
Why is Recycling Essential?
In a world where natural resources are finite and waste production is increasing at an alarming rate, recycling plays a key role. It is not just a matter of sorting garbage. Recycling is about rethinking the life cycle of materials and giving them a new use, reducing the consumption of virgin raw materials, saving energy and minimizing environmental impact.
By recycling materials such as paper, plastic, glass and metals, we reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills; we preserve natural resources such as water, oil and minerals; we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also save energy in production processes. By promoting the circular economy, we create new opportunities that are greener and more environmentally friendly.
According to data from the European Commission, recycling 1 ton of paper can save around 17 trees, 26,000 liters of water and 4,000 kWh of energy. In the case of aluminum, recycling consumes 95% less energy than producing it from ore.
