National Recycling Week
Planet Ark’s National Recycling Week (NRW) will run from 11 to 17 November 2024.
During National Recycling Week, Planet Ark provide resources for everyone to learn how to recycle right, reduce waste and contamination and engage with positive sustainable actions at home, work and in the community.
Reducing waste not only keeps valuable materials out of landfill it also benefits the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
