Today, May 17, World Recycling Day is celebrated to raise awareness among the population about the importance of treating waste properly and thus protecting the environment.

Every day the amount of waste that the humans generate increases and on this day we try to make everyone aware of how consumption habits can cause a more sustainable world or lead us directly and slowly to the destruction of our planet.

The main concern is to reduce the volume of waste generated, but more and more of us are aware that a society that does not litter and does not pollute is a responsible and advanced society. If we manage to reduce the volume of waste, we will minimize our carbon footprint and the most effective, fast and reliable solution is to apply the R’s rule:

• Reduce the amount of garbage, try to buy products in bulk instead of packaged and use cloth bags.
• Reuse packaging that can have a second life.
• Recycle – most of the containers can be recycled and it is essential that we do it properly so that the chain starts well.

A Transglory we try to improve every day, and these are some of the initiatives that we apply on a daily basis:

• We only print what is essential.
• We recycle printed paper.
• We store unused batteries to take them to specialized recycling plants.
• Single-use plastic does not exist in the office. All of us have a corporate bottle that we fill with water every day
• We use recycled cotton bags daily to transport material.

We are aware that we still have a lot to do, but little by little we are adding more initiatives and being more sustainable.

What initiatives do you think we should implement?
