Waste Diversion
Waste diversion is the practice of redirecting waste materials from landfills or incinerators to recycling, composting, or other waste management alternatives. Its success can be simply determined by measuring how much a landfill grows from one year to the next. The practice aims to reduce the environmental impacts of waste disposal, conserve resources, and support the transition to a circular economy.
