WHAT IS ZERO WASTE?
Zero Waste is the prevention of waste via more efficient use of resources, and the prevention of waste generation by investigating the causes of waste generation. Or, it is minimized, and if the waste is generated, it is collected separately at the source. It is a target defined as the waste management philosophy that includes the provision of recycling.
The disposal of wastes without being evaluated within the recycling and recovery period causes serious resource losses in terms of both material and energy.
While the population and life standards in the world are increasing, there is an inevitable increase in consumption. This situation increases the pressure on our natural resources and disrupts the balance of the world. Our limited resources cannot keep up with the increasing needs. Considering this situation, the efficient use of organic resources becomes even more important. For this reason, in recent years, zero waste implementation labor expenditures have become widespread both individually and institutionally, as well as throughout the municipality.
