JUST ZERO WORKS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS, AND ADVOCATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO IMPLEMENT JUST AND EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS TO OUR WASTE CRISIS. SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2022, WE HAVE WORKED WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN MORE THAN FIFTEEN STATES AND TERRITORIES, INCLUDING CA, CO, CT, IL, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, AND RI TO DESIGN AND ADVOCATE FOR INNOVATIVE NEW PROGRAMS THAT REQUIRE COMPANIES TO REDESIGN THEIR PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING TO BE LESS WASTEFUL AND MORE RECYCLABLE, COMPOSTABLE, AND REUSABLE. OUR STAFF HAS WORKED TO DEVELOP PROPOSALS TO SLASH FOOD WASTE AND INCREASE COMPOSTING IN STATES LIKE IL, ME, AND NH. WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED SCIENTIFIC, LEGAL, AND COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT TO COMMUNITIES TO OPPOSE POLLUTING WASTE PRACTICES SUCH AS LANDFILLING, INCINERATION, AND THE LAND APPLICATION OF PFAS-CONTAINING SEWAGE SLUDGE. THIS INCLUDES WORK IN MA, ME, NY, AND OK.
