Each American exerts three times as much pressure on the natural environment as the global average1. Much of this pressure is exerted through consumerism. From the manufacturing process to the end of life of a product, many decisions can be made to reduce the impact on the natural environment. Adopting a Zero Waste approach to managing your business is one way to reduce your impact on the environment.
Zero Waste is a philosophy that encourages reducing pollution and waste in the life cycle of materials. Zero Waste improves profitability, competitiveness and environmental performance2.
