National Recycling Week
National Recycling Week, established by Planet Ark in 1996, is held every year during the second week of November (11th to the 17th November 2024).
Reducing our waste not only keeps valuable materials out of landfill it also benefits the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Thinking about our waste provides some valuable insight into how the recycling and resource management industry works in conjunction to your efforts.
