zero waste

Zero waste is an approach that focuses on waste prevention as opposed to end-of-pipe waste management. It aims to reduce, reuse, redesign and recycle, to throw away less by making better use of what humanity produces and to design products that don’t end up as waste, especially after just a single use. The benefits of zero waste include clean seas and fresh air, fertile soils and sanitary cities, and resilient economies and sustainable extraction.
