ZERO WASTE: REPAIR, REUSE, RECYCLE ... OR REDESIGN TO FIT THE SYSTEM
Britain presently dumps or incinerates around 20 million tonnes of household
rubbish each year. This figure is set to double. However, the principle of
Zero Waste states that everything we buy is, ultimately, made from materials

principle which has clear environmental and economic benefits and
SOVEREIGNTY advocates that all councils in the UK adopt the Zero Waste
principle, and implement Zero Waste strategies.
