International Day Against Climate Change: the power of recycling in our daily lives
On October 24, we celebrate the International Day Against Climate Change, a date that reminds us of the urgent need to take action to protect our planet.
At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we believe that every small action matters — and that recycling is one of the most effective ways to care for the Earth and help slow down global warming.
Why do we celebrate the International Day Against Climate Change?
This day was established by the United Nations to raise awareness about the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable habits. Climate change is no longer a distant problem — it is already affecting our coasts, crops, forests, and way of life.
From individuals to businesses and institutions, we all have a role to play. And one of the simplest yet most impactful actions is responsible recycling.
Recycling: a simple action with a powerful impact
Recycling not only prevents waste from ending up in landfills but also reduces the use of natural resources and the energy required to produce new materials.
For example:
- Recycling one ton of paper saves up to 17 trees.
- Reusing metals saves up to 90% of the energy needed for extraction.
- Recycling glass allows it to be reused infinitely without losing quality or generating extra emissions.
At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we work every day to promote the circular economy — collecting, sorting, and reusing materials to give them a second life. In doing so, we help reduce waste and emissions while keeping our island clean.
How can you make a difference from home?
Protecting the planet starts with small, daily habits:
- Separate your waste properly. Use the correct containers (green, blue, yellow, brown).
- Reuse before throwing away. Many items can have a second life.
- Buy recycled or second-hand products. Our stores are full of unique, sustainable treasures.
- Take your materials to an authorized recycling center. We’ll handle them responsibly and safely.
A shared commitment
Climate change affects us all, but it also gives us the opportunity to act together. At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainability every day — offering recycling services, metal recovery, house clearances, and second-hand goods that promote a cleaner, greener Mallorca.
Because recycling is not just an action — it’s a way to protect the planet’s future.
With Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, no hassle and fewer problems.
