About
Recycling has been on the radar since over a decade. The Millennium Development Goals, succeeded by Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), realize its importance for the world, not just India. UN SDG 3 talks about good health and well-being, UN SDG 6 speaks about clean water and sanitation, and SDG 11 talks about sustainable cities. All these agendas are directly or indirectly related to recycling and reducing waste. The urgency to act on these goals is palpable.
Recognizing this fact, BW Businessworld is set to host the second edition of ‘The BW Recycling Awards Summit & Awards. The idea is not just to facilitate changemakers and pathbreakers in the field of recycling, but also to broaden our knowledge about the latest trends and technology in this space.
We aim to create a platform for the emerging minds of the waste management industry to connect, collaborate and explore opportunities with the waste management Industry veterans and experts. In this platform, we aim to recognize and reward the best work done in the field of waste management, including categories of plastic, non-ferrous metal, scraps, automobile, e-waste, glass, battery, textiles, Tyres, paper recycling, water waste, etc.
