The Global Recycling Foundation (GRF) has announced the winners of its Recycling Heroes Competition 2025. Entrants were invited to submit a 60-90 second video demonstrating innovative ideas to promote Recycling, Sustainability, Educational Awareness or Waste Reduction in their Community, School or business.
Videos were judged on creativity and clarity of message illustrating success stories and educational outreach. The 20 winning entries have won $500 plus inclusion in a press release shared through our global channels. Additionally, the first 50 winning entries will be shared on all our global channels over the following 12 months. The full list of the winners can be found here.
Marking Global Recycling Day, Ranjit Baxi, Founding President of the GRF, said, “On this Global Recycling Day let us all pledge to share and promote recycling as an integral part of the Global Circular Economy.
“The danger is that the circular economy becomes regionalised by overarching regulatory controls and increasing protectionism, instead we must work together to allow free and fair global trade as we are contributing to global environmental benefits.”
He added, “We need to promote the three Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle as our fundamental drivers. I am heartened by the number of entries in our Recycling Heroes competition which have focused on the use of plastic. They all recognise that we must eradicate single use plastic.”
