GLOBAL RECYCLING DAY
The power of the Seventh Resource must be recognized by leaders around the world, through seven concrete changes:
Focus on international legislation and agreements.
Support, and campaign for, free sustainable trade of recyclable materials to ecologically sound companies across the globe.
Educate, from grass roots up, the public on the critical necessity of recycling.
Agree to a common language of recycling.
To make recycling a community issue, supporting schemes and initiatives which help households and businesses provide Seventh Resource materials for repurposing.
Work with the industry to encourage ‘design for recycling’ in the repurposing of materials – reducing waste, integrating ‘end-of-life’ planning at design stage.
Support innovation, research and initiatives that foster better recycling practices and technology.
