EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The evidence is there. This is a time of crisis–and it’s a crisis of our own making. We created a situation of unnecessary waste pollution due to irresponsible consumption and the practice of a linear economy. An economy with expensive products & services, zero recycling principles, single-use products, and a lot more. The Afrigod ZeroWaste program is aimed at eliminating waste and promoting the continual use of resources through the concept of reusing, sharing, repairing, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling to create a closed-loop system, minimizing the use of resource inputs and the creation of waste, pollution and carbon emissions. The program also aims to keep quality products, equipment, and infrastructures in use for longer periods and at a more affordable rate, promoting a circular economy and improving the productivity of these resources, thereby creating a healthy environment and clean climate.
