Global Recycling Day: "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover Is The New Mantra"

Global Recycling Day: The theme for this year's Global Recycling Day is "celebrating our Recycling Heroes". Meet a few of them

Today is Global Recycling Day. The day assumes even more significance amid the pandemic as recycling items has taken a big hit and people are using more disposable things for safety. According to a report in news agency Reuters, "From Wuhan to New York, demand for face shields, gloves, takeaway food containers and bubble wrap for online shopping has surged. Since most of that cannot be recycled, so has the waste." Recyclers across the world are losing out, says the report. Global Recycling Day is an opportunity to spread awareness about the importance of recycling in ensuring a healthy future of our precious planet and saying "Thank You" to the Recycle Heroes.
