What is a Zero Waste City?

Zero waste cities change systems, not just habits. Jack McQuibban of Zero Waste Europe joins host Clark Marchese to explain how cities can prevent waste before it is created, improve reuse and collection systems, and make producers more responsible for the materials they sell. The conversation separates zero waste from the unrealistic idea of producing no waste at all, while showing why local policy and community participation matter. Learn how circular economy principles, producer responsibility, and systemic waste reduction can help cities move beyond an endless dependence on disposal and recycling. Episode Guest: Jack McQuibbanMore information about Zero Waste Europe hereFurther reading about zero waste cities here:More information about the episode and the Plastic PodcastEpisode Transcript  and more information on the Pine Forest Media WebsiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, written, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art and PFM logo by Laurel Wong. Theme music by Tadeo Cabellos  Hosted on Acast.
