1. What is zero waste?
A. Definition of zero waste
Zero waste is an environmental protection movement which aims to reduce the waste of resources, the quantity of waste emitted and its toxicity.
He is opposed to the production of single-use objects and certain methods of waste treatment.
B. Examples of zero waste products
Zero waste household products are already well known to the public.
The use of white vinegar in bulk in refillable glass bottles is a well-known example of an alternative, plastic-free product to products generally sold in large retailers.
Less well known, zero waste items for the bathroom, such as wooden/bamboo toothbrushes , biodegradable dental floss or even bamboo cotton swabs , are perfect examples of 0 waste products.
Even rarer, everyday products, such as biodegradable phone cases or organic cotton clothing , guaranteed plastic-free from manufacturing to delivery, also constitute an interesting eco-responsible alternative to favor.
