World recycling day is on May 17 – let’s protect our planet together!
World Recycling Day is celebrated annually on May 17 to raise awareness about recycling and its role in reducing pollution and conserving resources. Established by UNESCO, this global event encourages individuals, organizations, and governments to adopt better recycling habits and promote the “3Rs” – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The goal is to extend the lifespan of materials, minimize environmental damage, and address social and economic issues linked to waste management. As participation grows worldwide, the day serves as a reminder that collective action is essential to protecting the planet for future generations. Learn more about World Recycling Day.
