Zero Waste Cities: Ambition or Greenwashing?

Cities around the world have declared zero waste goals—pledging to eliminate waste sent to landfills or incinerators. These ambitious targets promise environmental benefits while positioning cities as sustainability leaders. But are zero waste commitments genuine ambition or public relations greenwashing? Understanding what zero waste means, what achieving it requires, and how to distinguish real progress from rhetoric helps citizens evaluate their own cities' commitments.
