Global Recycling Day was created in 2018 to recognise and celebrate the important part recycling plays in preserving our precious primary resources and securing the future of our planet. It is a day for the world to come together and put the planet first.
Recycling is key to protecting our natural resources. Each year recycling saves over 700 million tonnes in CO2 emissions and this is projected to increase to 1 billion tons by 2030. Recycling is crucial in the fight to secure the future of our planet and humanity.
The Global Recycling Foundation created Global Recycling Day and is pleased to announce the 2020 theme as #RecyclingHeroes. This will recognise the people, places and activities that showcase the important role recycling plays in contributing to an environmentally stable planet.

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is a fuel produced from various types of waste such as municipal solid waste, industrial waste or commercial waste. RDF can be incinerated to produce energy from waste (EfW), which is the final treatment process of recovering energy from waste. This landfill diversion activity supports the government’s 2025 Revised Waste Framework Directive, which effectively bans recyclable material from going to landfill.
TJ has four materials recovery facilities dotted along the south coast, two in Portsmouth, one in Southampton and one in Yapton.
All of the waste that comes into the facilities is sorted into categories to ensure that as much as possible is recycled or reused. TJ recycles up to 100% of the waste that comes through their doors, demonstrating their commitment to diverting waste from landfill. TJ’s extensive knowledge of a range of recycling centres in and outside of Hampshire helps make all this recycling possible.

Plasterboard must be disposed of correctly to ensure there are no ill effects; if plasterboard is disposed alongside biodegradable wastes it can lead to the production of odorous and toxic hydrogen sulphide gas.
We’re dedicated to diverting as much waste as possible from landfill and to do that we are continuously seeking new recycling routes for a range of tricky materials to ensure that everything that can be, is being reused.
