Global Recycling Day 2025

The countdown has started……

 

Global Recycling Day takes place annually on March 18th and we are inviting nominations for #RecyclingHeroes 2025! We are looking to honor people, places, businesses, and activities that have championed recycling efforts.

Twenty winners will be chosen from around the world. Each winner will receive a prize of US $500 and will also be featured on all our social media channels.

Ranjit Baxi, Founding President of the Global Recycling Foundation, commented: “We want to recognize Recycling Heroes for their outstanding contributions. Nominations are welcome from individuals, communities, and businesses who have made a significant impact on recycling in the past year and whose efforts will contribute to a greener future for our planet.”

Recycling is an essential part of the fight against climate change and promotes global sustainability. It’s projected to save over a billion tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2030.

The importance of recycling was underscored during the Coronavirus crisis, solidifying its role as the Seventh Resource upon which humanity depends for raw materials.

Every contribution counts, no matter how small. Together, we can fight global pollution and build a sustainable future.

Here’s how to nominate a Recycling Hero:

Create a video (90 to 120 seconds) showcasing the nominee’s recycling contributions.
