A zero waste policy eliminates waste through reduction of waste-producing consumption, reuse of waste, and recycling. A zero waste policy can be carried out on a town level (see Zero waste towns) or by businesses see sustainable businesses).
One possibility is for outside firms to act as consultants or service providers to assist in the transition to or management of a zero waste policy. A cooperative or business alliance may serve the same role: for example, the Green Foodservice Alliance, a division of the Georgia Restaurant Association, is creating "zero-waste zones"[1] in the Atlanta, Georgia region. Companies are also beginning to to meet the growth in demand from restaurants for recycling and composting waste.[2]
Care needed
Mixing plant-based alternatives in with regular recycling can cause serious problems for recycling plants. One suggested solution is for manufacturers to mark appropriate biodegradable items with a brown or green stripe.[2]
