Waste=Food, Waste=Revenue, Recycling Plus!

Waste used to equal costs - costs to handle, dispose of, and mitigate future risks. Not to mention the fact that you bought something that you are throwing away. Looking at waste as an unsold by-product, as a potential raw material for another business inspires innovation. Designing for the life-cycle of products instead of cradle to grave linear design creates new business opportunities for those with an eye to see the possibilities.
