World Recycling Day reminds us that waste is a resource. Recycling reduces raw-material extraction, saves energy and lowers pollution. It is a call to rethink what we consider "trash."
How to take part at home
- Separate and recycle your plastic, paper and glass.
- Reduce single-use plastic.
- Choose products made from recycled material.
