How to Construct a Zero Waste, Recycling Society

Introduction: Rapid economic development is always followed by environmental problems caused by an increasing amount of waste. But in fact, waste should be regarded as a “misplaced resource”.

To achieve this goal, we will continue to search for new approaches.
