waste as a resource

Waste as a resource refers to the idea that materials discarded as waste can be reprocessed, recycled, or reused to create new products or energy. This approach promotes sustainability by reducing the need for new raw materials, minimizing pollution, and conserving natural resources. For instance, plastics can be melted down and remolded into new items, while organic waste can be composted to enrich soil. Embracing waste as a resource leads to a circular economy, where the lifecycle of materials is extended, ultimately benefiting the environment and promoting economic efficiency.
