4. Zero Waste
• Zero Waste is a philosophy that encourages the redesign of resource
life cycles so that all products are reused.
• The goal is for no trash to be sent to landfills, incinerators, or the
ocean.
5. Zero Waste Management
• Zero Waste refers to waste management and planning approaches
which emphasize waste prevention as opposed to end-of-pipe waste
management.
• It is a whole systems approach that aims for a massive change in the
way materials flow through society, resulting in no waste.
9. Reduce, Reuse And Recycle
Zero waste is poorly supported by the enactment of government laws
to enforce the waste hierarchy of refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot
(compost).
In practice, these laws invariably emphasize destruction and
recycling, while the reuse component is marginalized.
11. Reduce
Reduce: to make something smaller or use less, resulting in a
smaller amount of waste.
"Source reduction" is reducing waste before you purchase it, or
by purchasing products that are not wasteful in their packaging
or use.
A key part of waste "reduction" is "conservation" / using natural
resources wisely, and using less than usual in order to avoid
waste.
12. Reuse
Reuse: to use again or more than once.
Reuse materials and items so that they have longer life spans and
don’t get thrown away after the first use.
Many items found around the home can be used for different
purposes.
So before you throw those items away, think about how they can be
reused.
13. Recycle
Recycle: to convert materials/waste
into reusable material
Recycling puts objects through a
process (it consume energy) that
allows them to be used again.
14. Conservation of Water
Conservation of Water:- Potable
water is very limited.
There are areas in world where
water is scare commodity.
Wastage of water is must be
prevented
It is necessary for sustainable
growth.
15. Consumerism
People consume more than they
produce.
US has only 4.7% of worlds
population but consume 25% of
worlds resources.
Consumerism should be controlled
for sustainable development.
