Surendra Patawari – Gemini Corporation NV (BEL)

My favourite BIR memory is not one particular event. It is the feeling of walking into a room where people from different countries, cultures and businesses come together with a shared purpose. We may have different experiences and perspectives, but we are united by a common belief that recycling creates value for both the economy and the environment. Over the years, BIR has given me the opportunity to exchange ideas, understand global challenges and build relationships based on mutual respect and trust. That spirit of openness is what keeps bringing me back. The true strength of BIR is not the size of the Convention; it is the strength of the community it continues to build.
