5. © Disney Zero Waste No discard left unexamined for repurposing! The term “zero waste” is both pragmatic and visionary, and suggests that the entire concept of waste be eliminated by emulating sustainable natural cycles, whereby all discarded materials are resources for use by others. Zero waste is defined as eliminating discards entirely where possible through waste prevention initiatives, and diverting at least 90% of discarded materials away from landfills (and incinerators), pursuing the most efficient processing of those materials, via reuse, recycling, composting or other technologies. “If you’re not for zero waste, how much waste are you for?”
