Every year on April 22nd, millions of people around the globe come together to celebrate Earth Day—a day devoted to raising awareness about environmental issues and inspiring action to protect our planet. But at AgTech Recycling, Earth Day isn’t just a one-day event. It’s a mission we live by every single day.
A Brief History of Earth Day
Earth Day began in 1970, when U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, moved by growing concerns about air and water pollution, organized a nationwide demonstration to raise environmental awareness. Sparked in part by the devastating 1969 oil spill off the coast of California, the first Earth Day saw 20 million Americans take to the streets in support of environmental reform—making it one of the largest public protests in history.
Since then, Earth Day has evolved into a global movement. Today, more than a billion people across 190+ countries participate in events, cleanups, and initiatives that support the health of our planet. It’s a day of reflection—but more importantly, a call to action.
The Meaning Behind Earth Day
Earth Day serves as a reminder that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility. It encourages individuals, communities, and companies to take meaningful steps—big or small—to reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and preserve the Earth for future generations.
From reducing plastic use and saving energy to supporting sustainable businesses and advocating for clean air and water, every action matters. And when businesses lead by example, their impact can ripple far beyond their walls.
How AgTech Recycling Lives the Mission
At AgTech Recycling, we’re proud to support the spirit of Earth Day not just in April—but every day of the year. Based in southern Georgia, we specialize in recycling post-industrial and agricultural plastic waste that would otherwise end up in landfills or pollute our environment.
Instead of letting used ag film, irrigation tubing, or industrial plastic scrap go to waste, we give these materials a second life. Through innovative processes, we clean and reprocess this plastic into high-quality recycled resin that can be reused in new products—contributing to a more sustainable, circular economy.
Our mission is simple:✅ Reduce landfill waste✅ Support farmers and manufacturers in becoming more sustainable✅ Deliver reliable, innovative recycling solutions for hard-to-recycle materials.
By focusing on industrial and agricultural plastic—often overlooked in traditional recycling systems—we’re closing the loop in sectors that generate significant plastic waste. That
means cleaner farms, less burden on rural landfills, and a healthier planet for us all.
