Our vision is an Earth where no waste exists. Before an exhaustive circular material system comes to fruition, waste should be reduced to a minimum, reused creatively, or recycled efficiently. Residual matter should be disposed of in a safely engineered way, ensuring a clean and healthy environment. All people on earth should have the right to enjoy an environment with clean air, water, seas and soils. To be able to achieve this, we need to work together.
