Zero Waste System: Meeting the Needs of the 21st Century and BeyondThe Choice for Sustainable Cities A Zero Waste System is cyclical, like in nature, and does two fundamental things: It redesigns our systems and resource use—from product design to disposal—to prevent wasteful and polluting practices that lead to those 87 cans of waste. It then captures discards and uses them, instead of natural resources, to make new products, creating far less pollution and feeding the local economy. A Zero Waste System has:
New rules and policies that take a responsible approach to using and conserving dwindling natural resources. New manufacturing processes and smarter design where manufacturers are held responsible for the full lifecycle of their products, giving them the incentive to design for the environment, NOT the dump. New programs in every sector of our society to shift our culture away from wasting and toward a sense of responsibility for our planet and its future. Resource recovery infrastructure to replace landfills and incinerators and recover 90% or more of our discards. Empowered citizens like you who now live in a system that supports your efforts, while you continue to call for Zero Waste progress in your community. Source: ecocycle.org |

Hello Pragati,
this is your mentor Hannah.
Since there are flooding articles, I missed your wonderful article on zero waste.
Components composing the whole system of zero waste need to change a lot.
Nice job and have a wonderful day :)

Hello Pragati, this is your mentor Joon.
In order to make Zero waste movement to become truly 'Zero waste', cooperation between different societies and interested group is essential. Governments, citizens, educational organizations, industries and so on. For instance, in korea, company's ESG management is a big issue. Companies try to go green, and communicate with different social groups to cooperate. However, there are still problems such as PIMFY and NIMBY by different societies which make things go hard. What we can do is to bring awareness to society and make more people willing to contribute to the movement. That is an issue that many NGOs and government are currently facing.
Well read your article, and let's keep up.
Sincerely,
Joon
