If we are to live sustainably on this planet, we must stop sending our stuff to landfill or burning it and that means banning single use plastic, moving to a system of buying less, using more lending and sharing schemes, finding innovative ways to tackle food waste, increasing refill and repair schemes and upcycling a lot of the products that are currently deemed to be ‘waste’.
Find out more about what zero waste means and how we can get there.
We're calling on the Welsh Government to:
-
Bring forward to the zero waste target from 2050 to 2030, not 2050
-
Ban new incinerators and put in place a plan to phase out existing ones in Wales
-
The Welsh Government to commit to introduce EPR and DRS schemes in Wales
-
Launch a new Zero Waste Communities scheme
