Understanding where your waste goes after consumption is one way of being a responsible consumer, however, considering whether or not to use plastics in your daily life is an even better option. In the previous article, I highlighted what is called “downstream” waste value chains including recycling streams and processing.
However, the best way to become waste-free is to not consume it in the first place.
But that is definitely easier said than done.
