Recycling "is an untold story" and so the first-ever BIR-organised Global Recycling Day will provide a major opportunity to teil the public, governments and policy-makers about the crucial role played by the recycling industry in "creating a clean and sustainable environment for us all and for future generations", according to BIR World President Ranjit Baxi of UK-based J&H Sales International. Mr Baxi chose the second meeting of the World Council of Recycling Associations, held at the BIR World Recycling Convention & Exhibition in Hong Kong, to announce that the inaugural Global Recycling Day would be taking place on March 18, 2018, thus coinciding with the 70th anniversary of BIR's formation. The intention was to co-ordinate pro-recycling initiatives across perhaps 50 or more countries, he said.
