Communities, businesses and institutions are leading the way to Zero Waste all over the world. There are thousands of communities, businesses, and institutions that are working hard to minimize their impacts to the environment with the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health.
Zero Waste USA is the U.S. National Affiliate of the Zero Waste International Alliance and recognizes communities, organizations, businesses, and institutions on the Road to Zero Waste.
