Aiming for Zero Waste

There is the need to achieve landfill diversion and recycling targets in order to meet the challenge of “Zero Waste”. Apart from that, there is the requirement of funding organizations and technology to derive energy from waste. The important things to consider include public perception and awareness raising, food waste, eco-design, recycling rates, combined heat and power and landfill bans.

Waste prevention, reduction and re-use should involve the larger proportion of the national waster stream. However, significant challenges could be addressed through Public-Private-Partnership, multi-sector partnership, the leadership and committment of the Government and public support.
