Our Zero Waste Philosophy
Zero Waste means nothing is wasted. We consume more than our share of the world’s resources. As society and as individuals we have a moral duty to reduce our garbage to the minimum and recycle all that we can.
People cannot live a day without leaving some garbage behind; leftover food, the finally worn out tooth brush, the wrapper around the cheese, the trimmings and scrap from the products we make or use, and the hundreds of other leftover things from daily life we live and the work we do. Zero waste means every scrap that is no longer useable is recycled or converted to useful products to begin a new useful life.
In a world where energy is a high and urgent priority and where climate change is an imperative, it is wrong to fail to use our leftovers to create green, clean power in the communities where the waste is produced and the power is consumed.
Plasco is dedicated to converting garbage that cannot be recycled into clean, green energy; in plants that fit within the urban communities that produce the garbage and use the power.
