What is Zero Waste? Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWIA) defines zero waste as: 'The conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse and recovery of all products, packaging, and materials, without burning them and without discharges to land, water or air that threaten the environment or human health.'
A Zero-Waste Lifestyle involves trying to reduce the amount of waste we generate, especially plastic waste. The 5 R's of Zero Waste: “Refuse what you do not need; reduce what you do need; reuse what you consume; recycle what you cannot refuse, reduce and reuse; or transform the rest.” – Bea Johnson
