Embracing a circular economy can benefit our environment by lowering carbon emissions.
Most of the global greenhouse gasses come from extraction, processing and production of goods to meet the needs of humans. Producing and disposing of materials creates carbon emissions. Reusing materials means less carbon emissions than for creating new products and is better for the environment and air quality.
Aim for zero waste
Zero waste means designing and managing products and processes to avoid and eliminate waste.
It means no plastics entering our oceans, no organic waste going landfill, throwing away as little as possible and reusing and repurposing first.
Aiming for zero waste creates a cleaner planet.
