Sustainable production model

Abstract

The current issue of the digest is devoted to the International Day of Zero Waste established by the UN Assembly in 2022. This day is celebrated annually of March 30. Unfortunately, the waste sector is a major contributor to environmental pollution, climate change and loss of biodiversity and nature. When we talk about a zero waste approach, we mean responsible production, consumption and disposal of products. This means that resources are recycled or recovered to the greatest extent possible. Thereby it minimizes pollution of air, land and water. Resource-intensive production and transportation methods, careful management of economic and production processes, and the search for optimal solutions can reduce pollution and waste. The zero waste approach promotes rational waste management, minimizes and prevents waste generation, protects the environment, increases human safety, improves human health and well-being.
