Produrre e gettare waste has become so "normal" in our daily work is often considered a natural fact. But there is no waste in nature: they are an "invention" of man, whose modern economy is basing solely on the logic of consumerism and the maximum profit, without taking into account the impacts on the environment and man himself. This way of thinking and work is in sharp contrast with the laws of nature as waste, rather than resources and provide an economic benefit for society, are rendered incompatible with the environment.
For this you need to deal with a spirit of careful and responsible management of waste, producing less waste as possible, and learning to recover and reuse as much as possible of the waste materials produced.
