This book analyses 'zero-waste' (ZW) as an emerging waste
management strategy for the future, which considers waste
prevention through innovative design and sustainable consumption
practices. Drawing on a diverse range of case studies from
Australia, Bangladesh, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, and the USA,
this book explores why urban waste management systems still remain
a major challenge for almost all cities around the world. Rejecting
waste as an 'end-of-life' problem, Atiq Zaman and Tahmina Ahsan
instead consider waste prevention through the ZW model, in which
resources are utilized and consumed with minimum environmental
degradation. In addition, the authors give extended discussion on
why embracing the ZW concept will be beneficial for the circular
economy (CE). Providing a strategic zero-waste framework and an
evaluation tool to measure waste management performance aimed
towards ZW goals, this book will be of great relevance to students,
scholars, and policymakers with an interest in waste management,
sustainable consumption, urban planning, and sustainable
development.
