Zero Waste
Action: Developing resources and tools to retroactively implement zero-waste in existing services & ensure new services and buildings are zero-waste by design.
Impact: Cut out potential for waste at the root & buy local and seasonal food products. Embed/normalise zero-waste attitude into organisation, no ties to wasteful technology and infrastructure.
