Zero Waste is a systematic approach to resource management centered on reducing, reusing, and recycling materials. This approach aims to save energy by reducing energy consumption associated with extracting, processing, and transporting raw materials and waste, and to reduce and eventually eliminate the need for landfills and incinerators.
