Waste minimisation sits at the top of the waste hierarchy and should be considered as a sustainable form of waste management before recycling, energy recovery and disposal to landfill.
Waste minimisation refers to the efforts we should all make to minimise waste, in other words to make sure we don’t create it in the first place.
This includes refraining from buying goods that are overly packaged and not buying more food than we need, creating leftover food that goes to landfill. For more smart shopping tips, click on the Smart shopping guide on the menu left.
