It’s hard to believe, but the term “zero waste” has been around for more than 40 years. It was first used by a chemist, Paul Palmer, who noticed an abundance of clean chemicals being discarded by high-tech businesses in a newly developing area of northern California which we’ve all come to know as Silicon Valley. He saw a need for identifying new uses for the chemicals and a new concept of zero waste was born.

In April 2019, the Life Science business of Merck* launched a four-year initiative that was aimed at improving its sustainability efforts when it came to packaging. For a global business shipping around 30,000 packages every day, the task was enormous. From reducing the overall amount of packaging it was using, maximising recycling, improving plastics sustainability and even targeting zero deforestation, the initiative was a statement of intent by the business to begin to understand its environmental impact – and do something about it.
March 30, 2021 /3BL Media/ - The world is in flux. The ongoing climate emergency and unbridled human activity continues to have a direct, catastrophic impact on the world around us. They are creating the perfect conditions for diseases like COVID-19 to emerge, and accelerated, irreversible climate change. Business is playing a huge role in contributing to this. But also, it can lead the change, and transform the way we live for a better future.
Moving towards a circular economy benefits us all. I've been able to witness this firsthand as we work with our partners in Brazil and South Africa to develop proper waste management through recycling education, innovation and employment.
We’ve partnered with Sustainable Brands to highlight how these projects help us build toward a more sustainable value chain and a cleaner planet.
