For Zero Emissions

Zero Waste challenges the “take-make-waste” mode, focusing on collective responsibility and waste prevention. To date, more than 25 cities across the Asia-Pacific region have established Zero Waste models, showcasing innovations in source separation, organics management, materials recovery, EPR policies, and plastic regulation.
