Waste is part of the material cycle and thus is directly related to product manufacturing and individual consumption.
Hence, if we want to improve waste management and reduce our impact on the planet, we have to improve the whole materials cycle.
But, what are we responsible of? What can we do?
- Authorities: promote responsible manufacturing and consumption and encourage best practice in waste sorting at homes, offices, or schools through legislation, taxes, awareness campaigns and other means; treat waste with best available technology.
- Businesses: offer more sustainable services and products, manufacture in responsible ways and manage waste correctly.
- Citizens: reduce consumption and shop responsibly, sort waste correctly to ease its treatment.
