World Recycling Day<\/em>, May 17<\/strong>, is an important time to reflect on the impact of our consumption habits and the urgency of building a sustainable future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

In Brazil, each person generates an average of 1 kg of waste per day<\/strong>, which results in around 81.8 million tons of solid urban waste per year<\/strong>. The data comes from the Panorama Survey of Solid Waste in Brazil 2023<\/em>, produced by the Brazilian Waste and Environment Association (Abrema)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Despite our individual responsibility and the amount of waste we produce, we must recognize that large companies, multinationals and agribusiness<\/strong> are the ones that consume the most, deforest, destroy – and don’t recycle<\/strong>. They also pollute the most. <\/p>\n\n

But the question remains the same: In a world of consumption, spending, climate change and so much waste production… why recycle<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n
