Waste reduction presents opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at every stage of a product's life cycle. This document from the US EPA's WasteWise programme provides an overview of the climate change and waste link and highlights WasteWise partners that have achieved GHG reductions by reusing products, recycling, and creating products with fewer raw materials.
