Zero Waste

What is zero waste?

Zero waste is a comprehensive waste management approach that prioritizes waste reduction and material recovery. Strategies include policy interventions and business approaches to drive the redesign of products and delivery systems; and increasing access to reuse, repair, recycling, and composting. The ultimate aim is to create a circular economy, shrinking waste disposal to zero. Disposal-based systems rely on waste to energy and landfills to handle the majority of the waste stream, resulting in higher economic costs and environmental consequences.”
