Zero Waste
A waste management philosophy known as "Zero Waste" entails preventing waste, using resources more effectively, minimizing waste generation by reviewing the causes of waste generation, and, in the case of destruction, collecting the waste separately at its source and ensuring its recycling.
Consumption will inevitably rise as the world's population and living standards rise. This will put more strain on our natural resources and upset the global eco-system because we don't have enough of them to meet the growing demand. Given this circumstance, it is even clearer how important it is to use natural resources efficiently. Due to this, efforts to implement zero waste have proliferated recently on a global scale at the individual, institutional, and municipal levels.
