Zero Waste Ecosystem

 

Zero Waste protects the environment, benefits communities, and recycling the economy. Reducing, Rescuing, Recycling creates 10X more jab than disposal. Zero Waste good for the environment also. It takes 20X less energy to make recycled material than material. Zero Waste is good for the community, more than 31 billion food waste every year, community initiative can redistribute unwanted food to shelters, food banks, and more. 

 

Reducing, Reusing, Recycling can be a key part of the climate change strategy to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Roughly 42% of all greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the production and use of goods, including food, product, and packing.

 

Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling will conserve that energy and dramatically reduce our carbon emission. Zero Waste conserves resource and minimize pollution. Our current culture of consumption is unsustainable. Extracting raw material from natural spaces requires a large amount of energy and causes pollution. Once they were used the goods are simply dumped in landfills or destroyed in an incinerator. 

 

In contrast to the Zero Waste approach conserves natural resources and reduces pollution from extraction, manufacturing, and disposal. Reducing and reusing means fewer products are made as people buy less and as products are made to last. 

 

Zero Waste benefits our communities to promotes social equity and build community. A Zero Waste approach can build community capacity to support marginalized communities and protect community health and money. Community groups and small business groups like FoodFund in Ontario get to Zero Waste while also building community capacity and addressing social inequities. 

 

A Zero Waste strategy need to ensure everyone has access to tools to reduce, rescue, and recycle waste where they live, work, and play. This allows everyone to anticipate in protecting our environment.

 

Zero Waste approach also protects the health of communities by reducing pollution in air, water and soil by keeping toxic and waste out of landfills and incinerators. Zero Waste benefit to our economy also. 

A Zero Waste Ontario build a c economy is a resource for something new. This creates good resources through our economy instead of being used once and then disposed of or destroyed. Ontario’s recycling, composting and diversion programs create 10 times Green jobs are created in collecting and handling recyclable materials and processing at local recyclers, waste depots, and compost facilities. Right now, Ontarians pay most of the costs of our waste system through waste fees. The Proven new Waste Free Ontario Strategy sets a clear “Zero Waste” goal that will build a circular economy and eliminate waste.
