Zero Waste is Key to Fighting Inflation & Supply Chain Shortages

By Alfred Twu
Besides the environmental benefits, zero waste also helps ease the shortages and inflation driven by supply chain issues. A disposal-based supply chain requires a constant extraction of new raw material to feed the making and delivering of new product. This supply chain often spans the whole globe. After a short lifespan, the products are discarded and new ones are needed. If any component or part of the chain has a problem, production comes to a halt and there are shortages, which then drive up costs.
