Recycling Saves The Earth

10 years of friendship with your sustainable bag!

Taking centuries to degrade, they were among the top littered items in the world often ingested by animals or breaking into microplastics and ending up in our food.

Today marks a decade since the EU’s Plastic Bags Directive. Together, we've made major progress in protecting our oceans and wildlife 🐬🌿

By the end of 2025, our goal is to reduce consumption to 40 lightweight plastic bags per person per year. Are you below or above this target?

Every time you choose a reusable bag, you choose nature and your health. 🌍

⚠️⚠️আপনি কি জানেন, ২০৫০ সালের মধ্যে বিশ্বের প্রতিটি শিশু জলবায়ু পরিবর্তনের প্রভাবে আরও ভয়ানক পরিণতির শিকার হবে❓

বিশ্বব্যাপী ২০০ কোটি শিশুর ভবিষ্যৎ আজ হুমকির মুখে! এ সংকট মোকাবেলায় বিশ্ব নেতাদের এ খাতে বিনিয়োগ বাড়াতে হবে এবং সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়ার সময় শিশু ও তরুণদের প্রাধান্য দিতে হবে। 🙏

২০৪০ সালের মধ্যে, ৪ জনের মধ্যে ১টি শিশু অত্যন্ত সীমিত পানির এলাকায় বসবাস করবে। 💔

জলবায়ু পরিবর্তনের সঠিক অভিযোজন শিশুদের স্বাস্থ্য, জীবন এবং ভবিষ্যৎ রক্ষা করতে পারে। এর জন্য আমাদের 👇
✔ পানি আরও দক্ষতার সাথে ব্যবহার করতে হবে
✔ সৌর শক্তি চালিত পানির ব্যবস্থা ব্যবহার করতে হবে
✔ গ্রিনহাউস গ্যাস কমাতে হবে।

Recycling Saves Energy
Manufacturing products from recycled materials generally requires less energy than using new raw materials. This energy saving translates to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.

Recycling lowers the amount of waste sent to landfills, which can pollute soil and groundwater. It also reduces the need to extract, refine, and process raw materials, minimizing air and water pollution from these activities.
