Definition of Zero Waste*• Zero Waste is a goal that is both pragmatic and
visionary, to guide people to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are resources for others to use.
• Zero Waste means designing and managing products and processes to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them.
• Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that may be a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health.
