Zero waste is a philosophy and environmental initiative aimed at eliminating waste by rethinking resource life cycles to conserve and recover resources, rather than disposing of them. It involves reducing, reusing, and recycling materials to prevent waste generation, ultimately aiming for a circular economy where no trash is sent to landfills, incinerators, or the ocean.
Waste crisis: 2.24 billion tons of municipal solid waste are generated annually.Only 55% are managed in controlled facilities.Approximately 931 million tons of food are lost or wasted each year.
