Zero Waste is radical. It changes everything. In this episode, you'll learn more about how cities, policymakers, businesses and private citizens can help change the game and create a zero waste society - way sooner than you think. We take a look at Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), why so many choose to focus on the responsibilities of consumers when business generate so much more trash and the innate powers of civil society.
Listen to interviews with our experts: Paul Ekins, professor of Resources and Environmental policy, of UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources and Elin Bergman, Manager of Corporate Partnerships, of World Wide Fund for Nature and Wildlife (WWF).
