Zero waste is not only a blueprint for the protection of our environment, but it is also a framework where social cohesion and community collectiveness can thrive within. Through increased innovation to redesign products and rethink our relationship with resources, together with greater emphasis placed on the need for localising production patterns, municipalities can not only save costs on their waste management and protect the environment, but by adopting a zero waste approach they can foster community cohesion due to the increased number of jobs being created locally and by retaining money within the local economy. This toolkit has been designed to help you understand what zero waste is and how to implement a zero waste strategy within your community. We hope you find it a useful tool on your zero waste journey.
