Waste & Sustainability
Sustained economic growth and lifestyle changes fuels incremental change in consumption patterns and consequently places enormous pressure on natural resources increasing generation of toxics waste. With raw materials becoming scarce and energy more expensive, it is imperative that we use resources more efficiently, minimise waste generation and use waste as a resource for generation of secondary raw materials. For sustainability, it is also important that we focus on reducing the adverse impacts of waste on our air, soil and water.
