This approach is particularly interesting on a local scale, because reducing and recovering waste creates a
long-term system in which resources can be preserved, created and reused in a circular fashion in the towns
themselves.

Creating materials collection and
recovery sites in towns and cities
= local jobs and socio-economic
value.
Replacing current linear resource
extraction methods = greater
autonomy, traceability and lower
supply costs.
Reducing the use of incinerators
and landfill sites, through
reduced production and
appropriate treatment of sorted
waste = cutting economic and
environmenal costs.
