ROAD TO ZERO WASTE: How Waste Becomes Future Recyclable<\/h1>\n

Waste and its impact on the environment are some of the most pressing problems facing our planet. So, it\u2019s about time to rethink and find sustainable solutions: ROAD TO ZERO WASTE regards waste as the recyclable of the future. This perspective enables a functioning circular economy \u2013 tomorrow\u2019s waste management.<\/p>\n

\u2018ZERO WASTE\u2019 does not mean no more waste at all \u2013 the goal is to reduce all avoidable waste to zero, conserve natural resources, maximize recycling and minimize residual waste.<\/p>\n

The transformation to a cleaner tomorrow needs common goals and united strengths. This is why the ROAD TO ZERO WASTE label certifies companies, organizations and projects that successfully complete the transformation from waste to recyclable and to greater sustainability.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Waste as a recyclable: ZERO WASTE through circular economy<\/h2>\n

We are all facing an enormous task together in waste management: According to World Bank forecasts, the global waste volume will increase by around 70% by 2050, from 2 to around 3.4 billion metric tons.* Just one plastic bottle in the ocean takes 350 to 400 years to completely decompose \u2013 the way we handle waste will therefore shape the planet’s climate and environment in the long term. Can all this waste be avoided? Unfortunately, not. But we can think about it differently: as a recyclable and resource.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Moving to a functioning circular economy<\/h3>\n

If we work together to avoid waste and intensify its use as a recyclable material, companies, consumers and the environment will benefit in equal measure. This is why waste is collected separately, sorted, processed and recycled so that it can be reused in the production of goods and packaging.<\/p>\n

By returning waste to the production cycle, it is given a new lease on life and becomes a valuable commodity. A functioning circular economy thus ensures a more sustainable use of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n

The new standard for a sustainable future<\/h3>\n

The goal: reduce waste, minimize non-recyclable waste and return recyclable material to the loop. To turn this mission into a reality, a consortium of NGOs, science and business has initiated a new DIN standard and developed guidelines for the transparent handling of resources.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the forward-looking provisions of the new DIN SPEC 91436 standard, the ROAD TO ZERO WASTE label guarantees sustainable recyclables and waste management. All companies and organizations that align their recyclables and waste management with ZERO WASTE can now be certified.<\/p>\n

ROAD TO ZERO WASTE \u2013 Sustainably Valuable for Companies<\/h2>\n

DIN SPEC 91436: Holistic perspective of recyclables and waste management<\/h3>\n

The ROAD TO ZERO WASTE label is a certification which can be conducted by an approved and independent testing organization, such as T\u00dcV S\u00dcD<\/a> or DEKRA. The underlying, new standard DIN SPEC 91436 defines the reference model for operational recyclables and waste management. The goal is to consider the ecological, economic and social impact of waste management and resource management in a holistic manner and thereby to follow the ZERO WASTE idea in a concrete fashion. Existing resources are\nthus optimally used by means of consumption reduction, waste avoidance, repairs, reuse, composting, fermentation and recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n
