Zero Waste' is exactly as it sounds. The creation of a circular economy where no waste is produced. Our society has become far too comfortable with single-use, throw-away and short-lived goods.

​

Zero waste concepts follow a refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot philosophy, reducing or ultimately eliminating what ends up in landfill and protecting the natural world in which we rely so heavily. This is also known as a 'circular economy'.

 

For the Envirohub Marlborough Team, Zero Waste is a goal. Realistically, to achieve zero waste we need to instil a collective change in mindset and behaviour at a grassroots level.

 

Thus, Envirohub and other environmental organisations, use the term 'Zero Waste' to define any substantial effort working toward achieving this ultimate goal.
