  The concept of Zero Waste to Landfill has emerged as a cornerstone in building a sustainable and circular economy. This goal emphasizes minimizing the amount of waste sent to landfills by maximizing recycling, reusing materials, and improving resource efficiency. The importance of this target cannot be overstated, especially as the world grapples with increasing levels of waste and diminishing natural resources. A circular economy is designed to redefine growth by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. Instead of the traditional linear model—take, make, dispose—the circular economy focuses on regenerating natural systems and keeping products, materials, and resources in use for as long as possible. In this context, achieving Zero Waste to Landfill is not just a lofty ambition but a practical necessity. One of the primary benefits of aiming for Zero Waste to Landfill is the conservation of natural resources. When waste is diverted from landfill...

  In today’s technology-driven world, electronic waste, or e-waste, is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. As gadgets and appliances become outdated at a rapid pace, the disposal of electronic items poses a significant threat to the environment and public health. To address this issue, governments have implemented a policy framework known as E-Waste EPR Compliance (Extended Producer Responsibility), which plays a critical role in sustainable waste management. Understanding E-Waste EPR Compliance E-Waste EPR Compliance refers to a regulatory approach under which producers—manufacturers, importers, or brand owners—are held responsible for the entire lifecycle of their electronic products. This includes the collection, recycling, and environmentally sound disposal of e-waste once the consumer discards the product. Rather than allowing electronic waste to accumulate in landfills or be processed informally (often causing pollution), EPR ensures that manufacturers ta...
