    • Abstract:
      Still, our consumption and waste generation have continued to grow, prompting the zero waste movement to build on this concept and work to shift our focus from end-of-life waste solutions like recycling towards a broader rethinking of what we use and how we use it. 4 Pune, India Informal waste pickers have played a pivotal role in Pune's waste reduction trajectory. Among other measures aimed at reducing waste, San Francisco began requiring that food vendors use recyclable or compostable food containers by 2007, banned certain single-use plastic bags that same year, made recycling and composting mandatory in 2009, and has pushed for statewide measures that would hold producers responsible for their product waste.
