sustainability

A holistic approach to the manufacturing process that focuses on good health for all involved. Ethical business care about every part, every facet, of their company. From production to the customer, ethical business manufacture safe products safely.

Ensuring that everything in your supply chain exceeds the minimum statutory requirements of the country you are doing business in. This applies specifically to people. Ensure the price you pay allows workers to be paid in excess of the minimum wage allowed. Ensure working hours are reasonable and are less than the maximum allowed. Ensure that your supplier’s safety standards exceed the minimum standards. Essentially, workers should be safe and earn a decent living wage.

A Zero Waste System is cyclical, like in nature, and does two fundamental things: It redesigns our systems and resource use—from product design to disposal—to prevent wasteful and polluting practices. It then captures discards and uses them, instead of natural resources, to make new products, creating far less pollution and feeding the local economy

• To take a responsible approach to using and conserving dwindling natural resources.
• For establishing processes and smarter design where manufacturers are held responsible for the full lifecycle of their products, giving them the incentive to design for the environment, NOT the dump.
• To enable every sector of our society to shift our culture away from wasting and toward a sense of responsibility for our planet and its future.
• Resource recovery infrastructure to replace landfills and incinerators and recover 90% or more of our discards.
• Empower citizens like you who now live in a system that supports your efforts, while you continue to call for Zero Waste progress in your community.
