Global Recycling Day, celebrated on March 18 every year, is a recycling initiative that encourages the entire woodworking and manufacturing industry to look at the waste in a new light. There are several ways to recycle that allow some materials to be reused multiple times. Recycling is a perfect way to take care of the environment because it lessens the energy used, the process enhances the quality of water and air we breathe, and combats climate change.

It also reduces using new raw materials to create new products — saving money and natural resources. Newspapers, plastic water bottles, soda cans, cereal boxes, and milk cartons are some of the common everyday recyclable items. If we put effort into recycling items that we usually throw away, we can impact the earth and our lives in a more profound way.

“Today is Global Recycling Day, a day to remind us that action is needed to overcome the worsening resource shortages and to turn more waste into value.”

“Today is Global Recycling Day, but H.B. Fuller is committed to developing adhesives that make packages and other materials recyclable every day of the year. Elizabeth Staab, Global Packaging Sustainability Manager at H.B. Fuller, discusses the “joint leap of faith” that is required across different industries to make recyclable adhesives and the circular economy a reality in this feature with Packaging Europe.”

“Waste is always a wasted resource. We need to rethink our attitude towards recycling – not only on Global Recycling Day – and to stress its importance for the future of our planet,” Siempelkamp.

In order to transfer valuable waste materials into reusable materials, our colleagues PALLMANN Maschinenfabrik Zweibrücken are constantly researching and developing new solutions in order to give a new value to such recycling materials. The unique machines and installations offered by Pallmann Maschinenfabrik are the only ones able to process such a wide range of products under ambient temperature, saving energy and environmental resources.

Henkel Adhesive Technologies business focuses on innovative #solutions that facilitate #recycling through the separation of materials – making it possible to repair, reuse, and refurbish products (parts) or eliminate the use of non-recyclable packaging parts.

History of global recycling day

Since becoming an U.N.-recognized day in 2018, millions and millions of people and businesses have joined hands to boost awareness about recycling through the Global Recycling Day initiatives. It’s almost impossible to miss the hundreds, if not thousands, of reports on the media about global warming, the negative results of our bad habits on the planet, and pockets.
