Waste Neutral is a novel waste management philosophy developed by staff at the Eden Project. The philosophy encourages people to balance the weight of waste they throw out with the weight of recycled material in new products. Hence, being waste neutral means that no more waste reaches landfill.

Alongside ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ the Eden Project suggests that we should consider ‘reinvest’ to support products that divert recycled materials from landfill and do their bit to close the loop.

Waste Neutral

The Eden Project awards the Waste Neutral Mark to products which have been made with recycled materials and responsible manufacturing processes. These products helps neutralise the amount of waste that reaches landfill. The Reee Chair does this, saving 2.4kg of waste plastic from landfill, and will be launched with the waste neutral logo embossed onto each rib of the chair.

Pli asks: Can you do your bit to be Waste Neutral?
