How to better sort your waste on a daily basis? How do you raise awareness among the residents of a city? Memphis has developed a global system that works.
Memphis committed in 2005 to achieving “zero waste” by 2030 . The tennessee city has since taken a series of measures and now exceeds 80% of waste recycled or composted.
The goal adopted by Memphis is to achieve zero waste sent to landfills or incinerators, meaning 100% of its waste recycled or composted. The expression Zero Waste in English also translates to zero left-over: this is why the city also seeks to reduce the waste of food and resources.
