Recycling Industry Celebrates Earth Day 2020
(Washington, DC)- The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), the Voice of the Recycling Industry™, today joins the world in celebration of the 50th annual Earth Day. Earth Day, started in 1970, takes place annually on April 22 in a worldwide effort to save and nurture the environment of which recycling plays an essential role.
“The scrap recycling industry is pivotal to environmental protection, resource conservation, and sustainability,” said ReMA President Robin Wiener. “In these unprecedented times, the recycling industry remains essential to the supply of critical raw materials to keep manufacturers in operation. In celebration of Earth Day, we encourage you to take the time to rediscover recycling and its immeasurable benefits.”
In addition to the countless every day benefits, recycling is helping in the fight against COVID-19. Recycled metal, paper, plastics and other commodity‐grade materials feed critical U.S. manufacturing operations. Those in turn are producing the rebar, wiring, tubing, transportation, packaging and other key materials needed for everything from construction of hospitals to the manufacture of new hospital beds, ventilators, toilet paper and other essential supplies. Recycling is both essential to the health of the planet – and to the health of individuals.
