This significant event is scheduled to take place in Suva on March 18, 2026, and aims to convene leaders from various sectors—including government, industry, academia, and grassroots organizations—to tackle Fiji’s pressing waste management issues.
Amitesh Deo, the founder of PRF, emphasized the importance of private sector involvement in enhancing national discussions on effective waste management and fostering innovative, sustainable solutions. He praised Nestlé Fiji for its proactive support of grassroots recycling organizations through the annual event, recognizing the vital role they play in community engagement.

As Global Recycling Day 2026 approaches, there is optimism for increased awareness and actionable strategies that benefit both the environment and local communities.
