04 Jul 2023 --- The US state of New York has set a goal of reducing its solid waste by 85% by 2050, which would make the state a national leader in waste prevention, reuse and recycling. But non-profit organization Just Zero has submitted concerns that the plans will treat waste as a valuable resource, which could prevent overall reduction. Just Zero says it “applauds” the New York Department of Environmental Conservation for proposing “an ambitious yet achievable waste plan that prioritizes waste reduction and public participation.”
