Attending the United Nations' latest Conference of the Parties (COP22) in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, BIR president Ranjit Baxi has advocated the establishment of a Global Recycling Day to highlight the benefits of recycling in climate change mitigation. He also argued that recycling should be added to the agenda of future climate change negotiations.
Each year, he underlined, the recycling industry prevents at least 700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions - an estimate based on the findings of an in-depth scientific study published at the beginning of 2016.
