Sustainability of the Environment
MIMTA proudly supports the Bureau of International Recycling’s (BIR) Global Recycling Day, celebrated on March 18th.
Global Recycling Day was established to recognize and celebrate the vital role recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a day for the world to unite and prioritize the planet.
Mission Objectives
To urge global leaders to acknowledge that recycling is crucial and must be treated as a global issue, necessitating a unified, coordinated approach to recycling.
To encourage people worldwide to view materials as resources rather than waste, fostering a mindset that values and repurposes recycled goods.
The Seventh Resource
The planet has six major natural resources: water, air, coal, oil, natural gas, and minerals. Now, recyclables have been recognized as the world’s Seventh Resource. Without recycling, our used and discarded items like fridges, plastic bottles, packing boxes, cars, cell phones, building materials, and paper cups would add to the growing waste mountains, destined for incineration or landfill, never to be reused. Without recycling, we are forced to continue depleting the earth’s finite virgin resources.
