Waste Awareness: From Creation to End of Life
Waste is a pervasive issue that encompasses various stages of a product's lifecycle, from production to disposal. Each item, such as jeans, has associated water and material waste both during its creation and when it reaches the end of its usability. Many industries overlook waste management solutions, notably in sectors like eyeglass recycling, highlighting a significant gap in sustainability practices. The complexities of working within inefficient supply chains, particularly in regions like Southern Italy, further complicate efforts to tackle waste, emphasizing the need for coherent systems and collaborations across industries and regions.
