Environmental Debt Day - we are pushing that date further and further away!

Let's #MoveTheDate!

From the research Global Footprint Network shows that we have an impact on Environmental Debt Day - without our recycling efforts, this day would have passed worldwide 7 minutes and 16 seconds earlier.

Environmental Debt Day, also known as “Overshoot Day”, is a symbolic date in the year when humanity has already used up more natural resources than the Earth is able to regenerate in the course of a whole year. This means that from this point until the end of the year, we are living on an ecological “credit”, using more resources than our ecosystem can regenerate. It is a worrying indicator of overexploitation and the pressure we are placing on the planet.

Together with our customers and partners, we are making a real impact on global Debt for Earth Day.

Why is this the case? Recycling and reusing recyclable materials not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to the original process, but also protects the planet's bio-sustainability. Instead of overexploitation, we have resource conservation and recycling.
