The goal of Zero Waste is to:
- Maximize recycling
- Minimize waste
- Reduce consumption
- Ensure products are made to be reused, repaired, or recycled
- Purchase sustainable products
- The protection of the environment and the health of the population.
- waste management and recycling collection can help conserve our planet’s natural beauty which can be flawed by thoughtless disposal of waste, fly-tipping and senseless littering.
- Economic benefits through creating employment.
Zero Waste systems reduce greenhouse gases by:
- Saving energy -- especially by reducing energy consumption associated with extracting, processing, and transporting raw materials and waste
- Reducing and eventually eliminating the need for landfills and incinerators
