Local and Statewide Zero Waste Policies


We can each do our best to reduce waste, recycle, and compost, but to truly protect our natural resources and our climate, we need policies that create systemic change moving us toward Zero Waste and away from a world of disposables.

IMPACT PROGRAMS


More than 40% of our climate impact comes from our “consumption emissions”—or how we extract, consume, and dispose of our stuff and our food. As one of the leading Zero Waste organizations in the world, Eco-Cycle is prioritizing three major solutions to reduce and even reverse these emissions.

The Urgency to Reduce Plastics

Plastic pollution is choking the planet. We must take action NOW.
