Abstract | Sustainability is a multifaceted concept. At its heart is how to make best use of finite resources of all kinds―energy, water, land and so on. One important aspect of sustainability concerns waste and how best to deal with it. Much of the debate about waste focuses on aspects such as reducing the volume of waste generated in a modern economy by industrial and other processes, how to expand recycling to cut the need for landfill or reduce discharges into the environment, and how to improve treatment methods and create safe disposal options. Progress with each of these valuable approaches has already made a significant difference to humanity’s pursuit of a truly sustainable future, and both reducing the volume of waste and greater use of recycling makes sound business sense as well as constituting socially responsible practice. ―Tim Yeo |
