About half is recycled, keeping materials in use for longer.

On #ZeroWasteDay, it is time to use resources better.

Slovenija je med najbolj uspešnimi državami 🇪🇺️glede recikliranja.♻️💪

V EU vsako leto ustvarimo približno 5 ton odpadkov na osebo. Približno polovica se jih reciklira, materiali pa tako ostanejo v uporabi dlje časa.

A solar tech that creates no waste?
At Lytefire, we chose to use nothing but simple materials.

Glass mirror, steel and stainless steel.

The result is a technology that's maintainable and repairable.

Creating the maximum of independence and empowerment.

RT by @EU_ENV: 🌍 The world wastes food on a staggering scale — roughly 10% never reaches the plate, and the average EU resident discards ~132 kg of edible food each year.
Zero waste starts on your plate 🥗.

Zero Waste Day

The International Day of Zero Waste, established by United Nations General Assembly resolution 77/161, is jointly facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat). Observed annually on 30 March, Zero Waste Day brings together governments, organizations, businesses, communities and individuals to take action by eliminating waste, embracing circular solutions and creating a cleaner, healthier planet.

Zero Waste Day

3月30日は 「#ごみゼロ国際デー」、廃棄物問題について考える日です。

#EU では1人あたり年間約5トンの廃棄物が発生し、約半分が #リサイクル されています。廃棄物の環境配慮型管理やそれらに含まれる二次資源の活用は、EUの環境政策の重要要素で、循環経済の鍵を握ります

Factory farming may look efficient, but for every hectare used for pig & chicken farming, 99 more hectares are used to grow grain for animal feed. 😲 This space could be used to help feed people rather than animals suffering in intensive farms. #ZeroWasteDay #FoodNotFeed
Every year, people throw away 1 billion tonnes of edible food - nearly 1/5 of what's produced. That food could be used to feed the hungry and the waste has an environmental impact. This year's International Day of Zero Waste puts the spotlight on this issue https://www.un.org/observances/zero-waste-day #ZeroWasteDay
