Promoting circular economy, environmental education and citizen engagement
The Hellenic Recovery Recycling Corporation (HERRCO) took part in the 5th Attica Green Expo, held at the Tae Kwon Do Olympic Arena in Palaio Faliro from 27 to 30 May, reaffirming its commitment to advancing Packaging Recycling and fostering environmental awareness across Greece.
Over the years, the Attica Green Expo has become one of the country's leading sustainability events, bringing together public authorities, local government representatives, businesses, environmental organisations and citizens to exchange ideas and showcase initiatives that support the transition to a greener and more circular economy.
At its interactive exhibition stand, HERRCO presented the achievements and impact of its Blue Bin and Blue Bell system, demonstrating how effective packaging waste management contributes to conserving natural resources, reducing environmental impact and accelerating Greece's transition towards a circular economy. Visitors also had the opportunity to learn about the company's nationwide recycling network, its measurable environmental results and its ongoing awareness and educational initiatives designed to encourage greater public participation in recycling.
A key highlight of HERRCO's presence at this year's exhibition was its dedicated programme for children. The company's Blue Bin and Blue Bell mascots welcomed young visitors through a range of fun and interactive activities that combined learning with entertainment. Through games and hands-on experiences, children discovered the importance of Packaging Recycling and environmental protection, helping to build positive habits and environmental awareness from an early age.
Commenting on HERRCO's participation, General Manager Mr. Giannis Razis said: "Building a sustainable future requires more than ambition—it calls for collaboration, knowledge and active participation from everyone. Attica Green Expo provides an excellent platform for engaging citizens with the principles of sustainability and the circular economy. At HERRCO, we remain committed to making Packaging Recycling part of everyday life by investing in initiatives that strengthen public participation and promote a stronger environmental culture. Through our ongoing efforts, we continue to support a more responsible and sustainable future for generations to come."
