<br /> 2 - How to Get to Zero Waste
<br /> The Road to Zero Waste is guided by the following questions: The key pillars of Zero Waste include:
<br /> • How to prevent,reduce,reuse? 1. Reduction/reuse of materials,food capture and
<br /> • What to recycle/divert? distribution,bulky material collection for reuse/donation,
<br /> • How to collect and process? store promotion of refill/reuse packaging models.
<br /> • What to do with what is left? Z. Increased recycling:current curbside materials,food scraps,
<br /> mattresses,electronics,paint.
<br /> • How to finance?
<br /> 3. Use of a sustainability lens for what is left.
<br /> The Sustainable Materials Management Hierarchy is a tool that
<br /> GBB uses to establish preferred management practices for
<br /> waste materials to prevent waste generation in the first place.
