Recycling and circular economy have raised their heads in the past few years. With more recycling options and tools, it may feel overwhelming to know what package goes to which bin, and people are hoping for companies to lead the way.

In Recycling Buddies, Arla and UPM joined with Youtuber Roni Back to teach children about recycling and the importance of our everyday actions. Previously presented Aamu the cat takes a new adventure with Luonto+ birds in the augmented world of recycling.
