Banyaknya permasalah terkait dengan sistem persampahan TPA atau landfill yang terlalu berdekatan dengan permukiman dan kawasan lindung. Bertambahnya populasi menimbulkan bertambahnya tingkat konsumsi penduduk, sehingga mengakibatkan meningkatnya produksi sampah. Selain itu, ancaman terhadap lingkungan alam yaitu terkait sumber makanan dan minuman. Gagalnya konsep waste management mengakibatkan banyak permasalahan persampahan.
Pada era saat ini, untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan sampah butuh visi yaitu:
1. Has a concrete goals
2. A single call to action
3. Engage the national psyche
4. Predict and redesign the future
5. Create a climate for continual improvement
6. Out-competes existing waste disposal method
7. Create a new economic model enabling the market to drive the change
Menurut Edgar S. Woolard Jr. the most suitable vision is "the goal is zero: zero accident, zero waste, zero emmision".
Ide untuk menyelesaikan permasalah sampah adalah mengubah dari sistem waste management menjadi waste elimination.
APA ITU ZERO WASTE?
Zero waste adalah semua tentang perubahan persepsi, berpikir ulang dan mengubah cara berpikir. Lebih cenderung mengeliminasi daripada manajemen sampah. Selain itu pendekatan untuk perubahan besar terhadap alur material masyarakat, dan menjaga produk yang dibuat harus menerapkan konsep 3R baik kembali ke alam atau akan dijual kembali.
