Grassroots Pilipinas says:
Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use.

Zero Waste means designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them.

Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that are a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health.Dino Doliente says:
Zero Waste is both a goal and an action plan that aims to reduce if not avoid all solid waste [from a product’s cradle to grave] and manage resources instead through product re-design, re-use, recycling or composting.

On the production level, it aims to reduce the toxicity of the processes, reduce waste starting from extraction, and redesign our stuff to allow for easy and safe re-use and recycling.

The best thing about Zero Waste is that it is inclusive and can be implemented at homes, offices, schools, barangays, municipalities, cities, provinces, and so on.

Over all this reduces our need for landfilling or worse, incineration.
