Zero Waste is a set of principles focused on waste prevention that encourages the
redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused. The goal is for no trash to be
sent to landfills, incinerators, or the ocean. Currently, only 9% of plastic is actually recycled.
In a zero waste system, material will be reused until the optimum level of consumption. The
definition adopted by the Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWIA) is: 'The conservation of
all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of all
products, packaging, and materials, without burning them, and without discharges to land,
water, or air that threaten the environment or human health'. Zero waste promotes not only
reuse and recycling but, more importantly, it promotes prevention and product designs that
consider the entire product life cycle. Zero waste designs strive for reduced materials use, use
of recycled materials, use of more benign materials, longer product lives, reparability, and ease
of disassembly at end of life. Zero waste strongly supports sustainability by protecting the
environment, reducing costs and producing additional jobs in the management and handling of
wastes back into the industrial cycle. A Zero waste strategy may be applied to businesses,
communities, industrial sectors, schools and homes.
Benefits proposed by advocates include:
• Faster Progress: A zero waste strategy improves upon production processes and
improving environmental prevention strategies which can lead to take larger, more
innovative steps.
• Supports sustainability: A zero waste strategy supports all three of the generally
accepted goals of sustainability - economic well-being, environmental protection, and
social well-being.
• Improved material flows: A zero waste strategy would use far fewer new raw materials
and send no waste materials to landfills. Any material waste would either return as
reusable or recycled materials or would be suitable for use as compost.
