Zero Waste or Waste Apocalypse?
- Geist Heidelberg, In dialogue
Since time immemorial, human existence has also been associated with its legacies, and waste has always been a testimony to mankind. But what history is our waste writing today? Many cycles are not intact, garbage is overflowing en masse, strategies for avoidance, landfill, recovery or processing are often lacking, despite – and because of – our highly complex industrial culture. But is a world without waste conceivable today?
