In the natural world, there is no such thing as “waste” – everything is recycled down to every atom. But here comes the human. Rapid growth in the 19th century started creating today’s modern, demanding consumers, Us.
A statistical European produces about 500 kg of municipal waste, and - according to Eurostat data from 2020 - this value varies depending on the country from about 280 kg (in Romania) to even 844 kg per inhabitant (in Denmark).
Recycling itself will not do the job. It’s a last call to radically slash the waste output and take into the action 5 zero waste rules:

- rot what’s left over.
