GAIA Public Declaration on UN International Day of Zero Waste

 

On the first annual United Nations International Day of Zero Waste on March 30, the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) has released a public declaration signed on by over 250 organizations in almost 60 countries representing zero waste practitioners, policy experts, and community groups. The declaration defines the principles and essential components of “zero waste” that governments must adhere to in order to successfully tackle our global waste problems.

DECLARATION

INTERNATIONAL ZERO WASTE DAY

30 March 2023

Zero waste to transform the world!

The Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, GAIA, is a network of grassroots groups and national and regional alliances representing more than 1000 organizations from 92 countries building a future that protects nature instead of turning it into waste. We work to change personal and collective practices through popular education, community organizing, implementation of zero waste systems, and public policy advocacy at local, national, and international levels. 

We are overjoyed with the United Nations’ decision to proclaim March 30th as International Day of Zero Waste. This recognition of the importance of zero waste  reflects decades of socio-environmental activism, led by organizations around the world working side by side with the communities most impacted by environmental and social injustices caused by a global system of overproduction and consumption of natural resources.

On a day like today we want to reaffirm that zero waste is the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health.

As organizations at the forefront of zero waste principles and strategies, we want to emphasize that any program that uses the term,”zero waste” must keep the focus first and foremost on reducing and preventing waste, through the following actions:

• Invest resources and issue policies that prevent waste generation and disposal.
• Minimize disposable products and find ways to replace them with durable, reusable  alternatives.
• Develop ways of distributing products without the use of disposable packaging, using packaging made of materials that are easy and safe to reuse or failing that, recycle or reinsert into biological cycles at the end of a long  lifespan.
• Transform the production system to manufacture  necessary, durable, and repairable products first and foremost, or at minimum , made of biodegradable or safely recyclable materials.
• Promote the development of local economies that shorten the distance between those who produce and those who consume, favouring the use of returnable and washable packaging and the sale of products in bulk.
• Reclaim people’s food sovereignty– growing toxics-free, healthy  food to feed and not just to profit, minimizing food waste and redistributing surplus food before it loses its nutritional qualities.
• Where recyclable discards are generated, manage them locally, and where waste workers groups or cooperatives exist, involve them in the whole waste management system.
• Recognize the role and contribution of grassroots waste workers and waste pickers in the zero waste system.
• Avoid as much as possible the use of synthetic fibres in clothing and textiles, and confront the wastefulness of “fast fashion.” 
• Avoid waste exports that perpetuate colonialism, injustice and inequity. 
• Eliminate waste incineration – in any form – from waste management programmes.

In short, zero waste means extracting from nature only what we need, and ensuring that all communities flourish, while  respecting planetary boundaries for regenerate what we take, and to absorb what we give back to nature.

The organizations signing this declaration call on United Nations Member States to join our efforts to build zero waste initiatives in all corners of the planet. These initiatives must restore justice to the communities that bear the burden of pollution from waste disposal, the extraction of virgin raw materials, and industrial manufacturing processes, and above all restore justice to nature, without which there  is no future for humanity.

DECLARACIÓN

DÍA INTERNACIONAL BASURA CERO

30 de marzo 2023

¡Basura cero para transformar el mundo!

La Alianza Global por Alternativas a la Incineración, GAIA, es una red de grupos de base y alianzas nacionales y regionales que representan a más de 1000 organizaciones de 92 países, que trabajamos construyendo un futuro donde protejamos la naturaleza en lugar de transformarla en basura. Trabajamos para cambiar prácticas personales y colectivas a través de la educación popular, organización comunitaria, implementación de sistemas basura cero y la promoción de políticas públicas a nivel local, nacional e internacional. 

Con satisfacción nos enteramos de la decisión de Naciones Unidas de proclamar el 30 de marzo como el Día Mundial Basura Cero. El reconocimiento de la relevancia de este enfoque es el reflejo de más de dos décadas de activismo socioambiental liderado por organizaciones de todo el mundo que trabajan codo a codo con las comunidades más afectadas por la injusticia ambiental y social provocada por el sistema global de producción que extrae naturaleza para fabricar bienes de consumo masivo que se terminan transformando en basura.

En un día como hoy queremos reiterar que basura cero es la conservación de la naturaleza mediante la producción, el consumo, la reutilización y la recuperación responsables de productos, envases y materiales sin quemarlos y sin descargarlos al suelo, al agua o al aire, para que no amenacen el medio ambiente ni la salud humana.

Como organizaciones en la primera línea de los principios y estrategias basura cero, queremos enfatizar que todo programa que use este término debe mantener el foco primordialmente en reducir y prevenir la generación de basura. A nivel global y local, esto lo lograremos  mediante las siguientes acciones:

• Invertir prioritariamente los recursos en la prevención de la generación y la disposición final de la basura, y establecer políticas que así lo mandaten.
• Restringir al mínimo los productos desechables y buscar la forma de reemplazarlos por productos durables y reutilizables.
• Desarrollar formas de distribución de productos sin el uso de envases desechables, en envases de materiales fáciles y seguros de reciclar o reinsertar en ciclos biológicos (devolviéndolos al suelo como nutrientes) al final de una larga vida útil.
• Transformar el sistema productivo para que se fabriquen solo productos con durabilidad garantizada, reparables, realmente necesarios, y de materiales biodegradables o reciclables de manera segura.
• Promover el desarrollo de economías locales que acorten las distancias entre quienes producen y quienes consumen, favoreciendo el uso de envases retornables y lavables y la venta de productos a granel.
• Recuperar la soberanía alimentaria de los pueblos, cultivando alimentos sanos y libres de tóxicos para alimentar y no solo para lucrar, reduciendo al mínimo el desperdicio de alimentos y redistribuyendo los excedentes de comida antes de que pierdan sus cualidades nutritivas.
• Cuando se generen residuos reciclables, estos deben ser gestionados de forma local, y preferentemente por agrupaciones o cooperativas de recicladoras y recicladores de base cuando estas existan. 
• Reconocer el rol y la contribución de las y los recicladores de base en todo el sistema de manejo de residuos, proveyéndoles los medios para realizar su trabajo de manera segura y digna.
• Evitar al máximo el uso de fibras sintéticas en la fabricación de ropa y textiles, reconociendo los daños que genera la sobreproducción de ropa a través de estrategias comerciales como el “fast fashion”. 
• Detener la exportación de basura cuando ésta perpetúa el colonialismo, las injusticias y la inequidad. 
• Eliminar la incineración de la basura -en cualquiera de sus formas- de los programas de gestión de residuos.

En resumen, basura cero significa extraer de la naturaleza solo lo que necesitamos, asegurando que todas las comunidades puedan florecer, y sin sobrepasar los límites planetarios para regenerar lo que tomamos y absorber lo que devolvemos. 

Hacemos un llamado a los gobiernos del mundo, y a la Organización de Naciones Unidas a promover y adoptar estas estrategias, para comenzar a reparar la relación de la humanidad  con el planeta, recuperando la viabilidad de nuestras sociedades en un momento de profundas y múltiples  crisis ambientales. Alcanzar la suficiencia, resiliencia y el bienestar para todas las personas que habitamos el planeta, es fundamental para ello. 

Las organizaciones que firmamos esta declaración profundizaremos nuestros esfuerzos trabajando con más entusiasmo por la implementación de iniciativas basura cero en todos los rincones del planeta. Dispondremos todas nuestras herramientas ciudadanas de educación popular e incidencia en políticas públicas, para hacer justicia a las comunidades que hoy cargan con el peso de los impactos de la disposición final de la basura, de la extracción de materia prima virgen y de los procesos industriales de manufactura, y sobre todo para hacer justicia a la naturaleza, pues sin ella no hay futuro deseable para la humanidad.

DECLARAÇÃO

DIA INTERNACIONAL RESÍDUO ZERO

 30 de março 2023

 Resíduo Zero para transformar o mundo!

A Aliança Global por Alternativas a Incineração, GAIA, é uma rede de grupos e alianças de base nacionais e regionais que representam mais de 1000 organizações de 92 países, trabalhando para construir um futuro em que protegemos a natureza sem a transformar em resíduos. Trabalhamos para mudar as práticas pessoais e coletivas através da educação popular, organização comunitária, implementação de sistemas de resíduo zero e defesa de políticas públicas a nível local, nacional e internacional.

 Ficámos contentes por saber da decisão das Nações Unidas de proclamar o dia 30 de março como Dia Mundial do Resíduos Zero. O reconhecimento da relevância desta abordagem é um reflexo de mais de duas décadas de ativismo socioambiental liderado por organizações em todo o mundo que trabalham lado a lado com as comunidades mais afetadas pela injustiça ambiental e social causada pelo sistema de produção global que extrai a natureza para fabricar bens de consumo em massa que acabam por se transformar em resíduos.

 Num dia como hoje, queremos reiterar que o resíduo zero é a conservação da natureza através da produção, consumo, reutilização e recuperação responsável de produtos, embalagens e materiais sem os queimar e sem os descarregar no solo, água ou ar, para que não ameacem o ambiente ou a saúde humana.

 Como organizações na vanguarda dos princípios e estratégias de resíduos zero, queremos salientar que qualquer programa que utilize este termo deve manter o foco principalmente na redução e prevenção da geração de resíduos. A nível global e local, consegui-lo-emos através das seguintes ações:

●  Dar prioridade ao investimento de recursos na prevenção da geração e eliminação de resíduos, e estabelecer políticas que o obriguem a isso.

●  Restringir ao mínimo os produtos descartáveis e procurar formas de os substituir por produtos duráveis e reutilizáveis.

● Desenvolver formas de distribuição de produtos sem a utilização de embalagens descartáveis, em embalagens feitas de materiais fáceis e seguros de reciclar ou reinserir em ciclos biológicos (devolvendo-os ao solo como nutrientes) no final de uma longa vida útil.

● Transformar o sistema de produção de modo a que apenas sejam produzidos produtos com durabilidade garantida, reparáveis, verdadeiramente necessários e feitos de materiais biodegradáveis ou recicláveis em segurança.

● Promover o desenvolvimento de economias locais que encurtam a distância entre quem produz e quem consome, favorecendo a utilização de embalagens retornáveis e laváveis e a venda de produtos a granel.

● Recuperar a soberania alimentar dos povos, cultivando alimentos saudáveis e sem toxinas para alimentar e não apenas para lucrar, minimizando o resíduo alimentar e redistribuindo os excedentes alimentares antes que estes percam as suas qualidades nutricionais.

● Quando são produzidos resíduos recicláveis, estes devem ser geridos localmente, e de preferência por grupos de recolha e reciclagem de base ou cooperativas onde existam.

● Reconhecer o papel e a contribuição dos recolhedores de materiais recicláveis de base em todo o sistema de gestão de resíduos, fornecendo-lhes os meios para realizarem o seu trabalho de uma forma segura e digna.

● Evitar tanto quanto possível a utilização de fibras sintéticas na fabricação de vestuário e têxteis, reconhecendo os danos causados pela produção excessiva de vestuário através de estratégias comerciais como a “moda rápida”.

● Parar a exportação de lixo quando perpetua o colonialismo, a injustiça e a desigualdade.

● Eliminar a incineração de resíduos – sob qualquer forma – dos programas de gestão de resíduos.

 Em resumo, resíduo zero significa extrair da natureza apenas o que precisamos, assegurando que todas as comunidades possam florescer, e não ultrapassar os limites planetários para regenerar o que tomamos e absorver o que devolvemos.

Apelamos aos governos do mundo e às Nações Unidas para que promovam e adotem estas estratégias para começar a reparar a relação da humanidade com o planeta, restaurando a viabilidade das nossas sociedades numa época de crises ambientais profundas e múltiplas. Alcançar a suficiência, resiliência e bem-estar para todas as pessoas do planeta é fundamental para isso.

 As organizações que assinaram esta declaração irão intensificar os nossos esforços, trabalhando com mais entusiasmo para a implementação de iniciativas de resíduos zero em todos os cantos do planeta. Utilizaremos todas as nossas ferramentas de educação popular e defesa de políticas públicas para fazer justiça às comunidades que hoje suportam o fardo dos impactos da eliminação de resíduos, da extração de matérias-primas virgens e dos processos de fabricação industrial, e acima de tudo para fazer justiça à natureza, pois sem ela não há futuro desejável para a humanidade.

DECLARAÇÃO

DIA INTERNACIONAL DO DESPERDÍCIO ZERO

30 de março de 2023

Desperdício zero para transformar o mundo!

A Aliança Global para Alternativas aos Incineradores, ou GAIA, é uma rede de grupos comunitários e de alianças nacionais e regionais que representa mais de 1000 organizações de 92 países e tem como objetivo construir um futuro que proteja a Natureza e não a transforme em resíduos. Trabalhamos no sentido de mudar as práticas pessoais e coletivas através da educação popular, organização comunitária, implementação de sistemas de desperdício zero e defesa de políticas públicas a nível local, nacional e internacional. 

Estamos profundamente contentes com o facto de as Nações Unidas terem decretado o dia 30 de março como sendo o Dia Internacional do Desperdício Zero. Este reconhecimento da importância do desperdício zero é o culminar de décadas de ativismo socioambiental liderado por organizações de todo o mundo em colaboração com as comunidades mais afetadas pelas injustiças ambientais e sociais originadas por um sistema global de sobreprodução e consumo de recursos naturais.

Neste dia, queremos reafirmar que o desperdício zero consiste na conservação da Natureza através da produção, do consumo, da reutilização e da valorização responsáveis de produtos, embalagens e materiais sem recurso à incineração nem a descargas para o solo, os recursos hídricos ou a atmosfera, que ameaçam o ambiente ou a saúde humana. 

Enquanto organizações na linha da frente dos princípios e das estratégias de desperdício zero, pretendemos salientar que qualquer programa que utilize a expressão «desperdício zero» tem de se focar, em primeira instância, na redução e prevenção de resíduos através das medidas que se seguem:

• Investir recursos e elaborar políticas que evitem a geração e eliminação de resíduos.
• Minimizar os produtos descartáveis e encontrar formas de os substituir por alternativas duradouras e reutilizáveis.
• Desenvolver formas de distribuir produtos sem utilizar embalagens descartáveis, ou seja, recorrendo a embalagens compostas de materiais cuja reutilização é fácil e segura ou, se tal não for possível, que sejam passíveis de serem reciclados e reintroduzidos em ciclos biológicos no final de uma longa vida útil.
• Transformar o sistema de produção para promover o fabrico de produtos que, acima de tudo, sejam necessários, duradouros e reparáveis ou que, pelo menos, sejam compostos de materiais biodegradáveis ou passíveis de serem reciclados de forma segura.
• Promover o desenvolvimento de economias locais e, desta forma, encurtar a distância entre os produtores e os consumidores priorizando a utilização de embalagens laváveis e devolvíveis e a venda de produtos a granel.
• Restituir a soberania das pessoas sobre os alimentos (cultivo de alimentos saudáveis e isentos de substâncias tóxicas com o objetivo de alimentar as pessoas e não de lucrar com isso, minimização do desperdício alimentar e redistribuição dos excedentes antes de perderem as suas qualidades nutricionais).
• Gerir localmente o lixo reciclável que é produzido e envolver as cooperativas ou os grupos de catadores de lixo que possam existir em todo o sistema de gestão de resíduos.
• Reconhecer o papel e contributo dos catadores de lixo comunitários para o sistema de desperdício zero.
• Evitar, tanto quanto possível, a utilização de fibras sintéticas no vestuário e têxteis, bem como lutar contra o desperdício resultante da fast fashion. 
• Evitar a exportação de resíduos, que perpetua o colonialismo, a injustiça e a iniquidade. 
• Eliminar todas as formas de incineração de resíduos dos programas de gestão de resíduos.

Em suma, «desperdício zero» significa extrair da Natureza apenas aquilo de que precisamos, garantir que todas as comunidades prosperam e, ao mesmo tempo, respeitar os limites planetários permitindo à Natureza regenerar aquilo que dela retiramos e absorver o que lhe damos de volta.

As organizações que assinam esta declaração apelam aos Estados-Membros das Nações Unidas que se unam aos nossos esforços para criar iniciativas de desperdício zero em todo o mundo, iniciativas estas que têm de voltar a fazer justiça às comunidades que carregam às costas o fardo da poluição derivada da eliminação de resíduos, da extração de matérias-primas virgens e dos processos de produção industrial e, acima de tudo, voltar a fazer justiça à Natureza, sem a qual a humanidade não tem futuro.

TAMKO JUU YA SIKU YA KIMATAIFA YA TAKA SIFURI.

Tarehe: 30 Machi 2023

#TakaSifuri kwa mabadiliko ya dunia!

Shirika la Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives ambalo ni shirikisho la kimataifa dhidi ya shughuli za kuchoma takataka. Shirikisho hili linaundwa na makundi ya jamii ya ngazi za chini, mashirika ya kitaifa na kikanda yenye zaidi ya taasisi 1000 kutoka nchi 92 duniani. Tunashiriki kujenga jamii inayolinda maliasili na kupinga uharibifu. Kazi yetu imejikita kwenye kubadilisha mitazamo na matendo ya watu binafsi lakini pia matendo ya makundi jumuishi kwa kutoa elimu, kujengea jamii uwezo, utekelezaji wa mifumo ya Taka Sifuri na shughuli za uchechemuzi katika ngazi ya jamii, taifa na mataifa.

Tuna furaha sana juu ya uamuzi wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa (United Nations) kutambua na kuadhimisha siku ya #TakaSifuri duniani Tarehe 30 Machi 2023. Kutambua umuhimu wa mfumo wa #TakaSifuri kwenye jamii zetu kuna akisi miongo mingi ya harakati za kimazingira. Harakati hizi zilizoongozwa na mashirika mengi duniani yaliyofanya kazi bega kwa bega na watu kwenye jamii zinazoathirika zaidi na ukosefu wa usawa utokanao na uharibifu wa mazingira. Uharibifu huo tajwa ukitokana na mifumo ya uzalishaji na utumiaji maliasili kwa kiasi kilichopitiliza.

Kwenye siku kama hii tunataka tusisitize tena kuwa, #TakaSifuri ni uhifadhi wa maliasili kwa namna ya uwajibikaji kuanzia kwenye uzalishaji, ununuzi, uchakataji, matumizi na utunzwaji wa bidhaa pamoja na vifungashio na malighafi bila kuzichoma wala kuziachilia kwenye mifumo ya ardhi, maji au hewa huku tukihatarisha mazingira na afya za binadamu.

Kama mashirika yaliyo mstari wa mbele kutekeleza mfumo wa #TakaSifuri na kanuni zake tunapenda kutilia mkazo kuwa programu yoyote inayotumia neno ‘Taka Sifuri’ lazima itangulize juhudi za kupunguza na kuzuia taka kwa njia zifuatazo:

• Kuwekeza kwenye sera zinazozuia utengenezaji na utupwaji wa taka.
• Kupunguza bidhaa zinazoweza kutupwa kwa kuzitafutia mbadala wa bidhaa endelevu na zinazoweza kutumika tena na tena.
• Kuunda mbinu za usambazaji wa bidhaa zisizotumia vifungashio vinavyoweza kutupwa. Hili linaweza kufanyika kwa kutumia vifungashio vilivyotengenezwa na malighafi salama zinazoweza kutumika tena. Suala hili linahusisha pia malighafi zinazoweza kurudishwa tena kwenye mizunguko ya kibaolojia kama ikifika mwisho wa matumizi ya bidhaa.
• Kubadilisha mifumo ya uzalishaji kuwa na bidhaa endelevu, zinazohitajika, zinazotengenezeka na zinazoweza kuoza au salama kwa kuchakatwa.
• Kusaidia kukuza maendeleo ya uchumi wa nchi kwa njia zinazopunguza umbali kati ya wanaozalisha na wanaonunua na kutoa kipaumbele kwenye matumizi ya vifungashio vinavyoweza kurejelezwa, kuosheka na kubeba bidhaa kwa makundi.
• Kuwezesha upatikanaji wa chakula kwa watu kupitia kulima vyakula visivyo na sumu, vyenye afya na sio tu kwa ajili ya kutengeneza faida. Pia, kupunguza taka za vyakula na kusambaza tena vyakula vinavyobaki kama ziada kabla havijapoteza thamani ya lishe yake.
• Mahali ambapo mabaki ya uchakataji yapo yadhibitiwe ndani ya nchi, na mahali ambapo makundi ya waokota taka yapo yajumuishwe kwenye mfumo mzima wa udhibiti taka.
• Kutambua mchango na juhudu za waokota taka wa kwenye jamii na wale walioko kwenye mfumo wa #TakaSifuri.
• Kuepuka kwa kadiri inavyowezekana matumizi ya nyuzi isiyo halisi kwenye kutengeneza nguo, na kukabiliana na mifumo mibaya ya uzalishwaji wa nguo nyingi na kwa haraka unaojulikana kama ‘fast fashion’.
• Kuepuka bidhaa zinazotoka nchi za nje kwa mfumo wa ‘ukoloni taka’, yenye uonevu na ukosefu wa usawa.
• Kuacha kabisa uchomaji wa taka wa namna yoyote ndani ya mifumo ya udhibiti taka.

Kwa ufupi, #TakaSifuri ina maana kuwa jamii inatakiwa kuchukua kutoka kwenye mazingira asilia vile tu inavyohitaji na kuhakikisha kwamba jamii zote zinaendelea kiuchumi huku zikiheshimu uwezo wa mazingira kuzalisha tena kile tunachokichukua na kupokea kile tunachokiachilia kwake.

Mashirika yanayosaini tamko hili yanatoa wito kwa wanachama wa nchi za Umoja wa Mataifa kuunga mkono juhudi za kujenga mifumo ya #TakaSifuri kwenye kila maeneo duniani. Juhudi hizi lazima zitekeleze usawa kwenye jamii zinazoathirika na uharibifu wa mazingira, utupwaji wa taka, uchimbaji wa malighafi na taratibu za uzalishaji kwenye viwanda. Awali ya yote, juhudi hizi zinatakiwa kurudisha usawa kwenye mazingira, maana bila kutunza mazingira hakuna kesho yetu.

DEKLARASI

HARI NOL SAMPAH INTERNASIONAL

30 Maret 2023

Nol sampah untuk mengubah dunia!

Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, GAIA, adalah jaringan kelompok akar rumput dan aliansi nasional serta regional yang mewakili lebih dari 1000 organisasi dari 92 negara yang memiliki visi untuk membangun masa depan yang melindungi alam alih-alih merusaknya. Kami bekerja untuk mengubah praktik individu maupun kelompok melalui pendidikan, organisasi masyarakat, implementasi sistem nol sampah atau  zero waste, dan advokasi kebijakan publik pada tingkat lokal, nasional serta internasional.

Kami sangat gembira atas keputusan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB) untuk menetapkan tanggal 30 Maret sebagai Hari Nol Sampah Internasional. Pengakuan terhadap pentingnya zero waste ini mencerminkan hasil kerja puluhan tahun aktivisme sosial-lingkungan, yang dipimpin oleh organisasi di seluruh dunia dan bekerja berdampingan dengan masyarakat yang paling terdampak oleh ketidakadilan lingkungan dan sosial yang disebabkan oleh sistem global produksi berlebihan serta konsumsi sumber daya alam yang berlebih.

Pada hari seperti hari ini, kami ingin menegaskan kembali bahwa zero waste adalah konservasi alam melalui produksi, konsumsi, penggunaan kembali, dan pemulihan produk, kemasan, dan material yang bertanggung jawab tanpa pembakaran dan tanpa pembuangan ke tanah, air, atau udara yang mengancam lingkungan atau kesehatan manusia. Sebagai organisasi yang berada di garis depan advokasi prinsip dan strategi zero waste, kami ingin menekankan bahwa setiap program yang menggunakan istilah “zero waste” harus mempertahankan fokus utama pada pengurangan dan pencegahan sampah, melalui tindakan-tindakan berikut:

• Mengalokasikan sumber daya alam dan mengeluarkan kebijakan yang mencegah pembuangan dan timbulan sampah.
• Meminimalkan produk sekali pakai dan mencari cara untuk menggantinya dengan alternatif lain yang lebih tahan lama dan dapat digunakan kembali.
• Mengembangkan cara pendistribusianproduk tanpa menggunakan kemasan sekali pakai, menggunakan kemasan yang terbuat dari bahan yang mudah dan aman untuk digunakan kembali, atau jika hal tersebut tidak memungkinkan, maka harus melakukan daur ulang atau mengembalikan ke dalam siklus biologis setelah masa pakainya habis.
• Mengubah sistem produksi untuk memproduksi barang yang diperlukan, tahan lama, dan dapat diperbaiki, atau setidaknya terbuat dari bahan yang mudah terurai atau dapat didaur ulang dengan aman.
• Mendorong pengembangan ekonomi lokal yang mempersingkat jarak antara produsen dan konsumen, dengan mendukung penggunaan kemasan yang dapat digunakan kembali dan dicuci, serta penjualan produk secara curah.
• Merebut kembali kedaulatan pangan rakyat – menanam pangan yang sehat dan bebas racun untuk dimakan dan bukan hanya untuk dijual, meminimalkan limbah pangan, dan membagikan makanan berlebih sebelum kehilangan kualitas nutrisinya.
• Mengelola sampah daur ulang secara lokal, dan jika ada kelompok atau koperasi pekerja sampah, maka mereka harus dilibatkan dalam seluruh sistem pengelolaan sampah.
• Mengakui peran penting dan kontribusi pekerja sampah dan pemulung di tingkat akar rumput dan dalam sistem zero waste.
• Menghindari sebanyak mungkin penggunaan serat sintetis dalam pakaian dan tekstil, serta menentang pemborosan dari fast fashion.
• Menghindari ekspor sampah yang mempertahankan praktik kolonialisme, ketidakadilan, dan ketidaksetaraan.
• Menghilangkan pembakaran sampah – dalam bentuk apa pun – dari program pengelolaan sampah.

Singkatnya, sistem zero waste berarti hanya mengambil apa yang kita butuhkan dari alam, dan memastikan bahwa semua komunitas di masyarakat sejahtera, dengan tetap menghormati batasan alam dalam meregenerasi secara optimal dari apa yang telah kita ambil, dan menyerap apa yang kita lepaskan kembali ke alam.

Organisasi yang menandatangani deklarasi ini menyerukan kepada Negara Anggota PBB untuk bergabung dengan upaya kami dalam membangun inisiatif zero waste di seluruh penjuru dunia. Inisiatif-inisiatif ini harus mengembalikan keadilan kepada komunitas masyarakat yang harus menanggung beban polusi dari pembuangan sampah, ekstraksi bahan baku murni, dan proses manufaktur industri, dan terutama mengembalikan keadilan kepada alam karena tanpa hal tersebut tidak akan ada masa depan bagi umat manusia.

DÉCLARATION

JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DU ZÉRO DÉCHET

 30 mars 2023

 Zéro déchet pour transformer le monde !

L’Alliance mondiale pour les alternatives aux incinérateurs, GAIA, est un réseau de groupes communautaires et d’alliances nationales et régionales représentant plus de 1000 organisations de 92 pays, bâtissant un avenir qui protège la nature au lieu de la transformer en déchets. Nous travaillons afin de changer les pratiques personnelles et collectives par l’éducation populaire, l’organisation communautaire, la mise en œuvre de systèmes zéro déchet et la défense de politiques publiques à l’échelle locale, nationale et internationale. 

Nous nous réjouissons que les Nations Unies aient décidé de proclamer le 30 mars comme la Journée internationale du zéro déchet. Cette reconnaissance de l’importance du zéro déchet est le résultat de décennies d’activisme socio-environnemental, dirigé par des organisations du monde entier travaillant aux côtés des communautés les plus touchées par les injustices environnementales et sociales causées par un système mondial de surproduction et de consommation de ressources naturelles.

En un jour comme celui-ci, nous voulons réaffirmer que le zéro déchet est la conservation de la nature par la production responsable, la consommation, la réutilisation et la récupération de produits, d’emballages et de matériaux sans avoir recours à l’incinération et sans rejets dans la terre, dans l’eau ou dans l’air qui menacent l’environnement ou la santé humaine. 

En tant qu’organisations à l’avant-garde des principes et des stratégies zéro déchet, nous tenons à souligner que tout programme utilisant le terme « zéro déchet » doit se concentrer d’abord et avant tout sur la réduction et la prévention des déchets grâce aux actions suivantes :

• Investir des ressources et établir des politiques qui empêchent la production et l’élimination des déchets.
• Réduire au minimum les produits jetables et trouver des façons de les remplacer par des solutions de rechange durables et réutilisables.
• Développer des moyens de distribution de produits sans l’utilisation d’emballages jetables, en utilisant des emballages composés de matériaux faciles à réutiliser et sûrs, ou, à défaut, les recycler ou réinsérer en cycles biologiques à la fin d’une longue durée de vie.
• Transformer le système de production afin de fabriquer des produits nécessaires, durables et réparables avant tout ou au moins en matériaux biodégradables ou recyclables en toute sécurité.
• Promouvoir le développement des économies locales qui raccourcissent la distance entre ceux qui produisent et ceux qui consomment, en favorisant l’utilisation d’emballages réutilisables et lavables et la vente de produits en vrac.
• Reconquérir la souveraineté alimentaire des peuples – des aliments sains et exempts de substances toxiques pour nourrir et non seulement pour en tirer profit, minimisant le gaspillage alimentaire et redistribuant les surplus alimentaires avant qu’ils ne perdent leurs qualités nutritionnelles.
• Lorsque des déchets recyclables sont produits, les gérer localement, et lorsqu’il existe des groupes de ramasseurs de déchets ou des coopératives, les impliquer dans l’ensemble du système de gestion des déchets.
• Reconnaître le rôle et la contribution des ramasseurs de déchets communautaires dans le système zéro déchet.
• Éviter le plus possible l’utilisation de fibres synthétiques dans les vêtements et les textiles et faire face au gaspillage de la « mode rapide ».  
• Éviter les exportations de déchets qui perpétuent le colonialisme, l’injustice et l’inégalité. 
• Éliminer l’incinération des déchets – sous toutes ses formes – des programmes de gestion des déchets.

En résumé, le zéro déchet signifie extraire de la nature que ce dont nous avons besoin et veiller à l’épanouissement de toutes les communautés, tout en respectant les limites planétaires pour régénérer ce que nous prenons et absorber ce que nous redonnons à la nature.

Les organisations signataires de cette déclaration appellent les États membres des Nations Unies à joindre nos efforts pour construire des initiatives zéro déchet aux quatre coins de la planète. Ces initiatives doivent rendre justice aux communautés qui supportent la charge de la pollution due à l’élimination des déchets, à l’extraction de matières premières vierges et aux procédés de fabrication industrielle et surtout rendre justice à la nature, sans laquelle l’humanité n’a pas d’avenir.

DICHIARAZIONE

GIORNATA INTERNAZIONALE RIFIUTI ZERO

30 marzo 2023

Rifiuti zero per trasformare il mondo!

L’Alleanza Globale per l’Alternativa agli Inceneritori (GAIA – Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives) è una rete di gruppi locali e di alleanze nazionali e regionali che riunisce più di 1.000 organizzazioni di 92 paesi impegnate a costruire un futuro in cui si protegge la natura piuttosto che trasformarla in rifiuti. Lavoriamo per cambiare le abitudini individuali e collettive attraverso l’educazione civica (no popolare)  , l’organizzazione delle comunità, l’implementazione di sistemi a rifiuti zero e la promozione di politiche pubbliche a livello locale, nazionale e internazionale. 

Abbiamo appreso con molto soddisfazione la decisione delle Nazioni Unite di proclamare il 30 marzo Giornata Internazionale Rifiuti Zero. Questo riconoscimento dell’importanza di creare zero rifiuti riflette decenni di attivismo socio-ambientale promosso da organizzazioni di tutto il mondo che lavorano a fianco delle comunità più colpite dalle ingiustizie ambientali e sociali causate da un sistema globale di sovrapproduzione e consumo di risorse naturali.

In una giornata come questa vogliamo ribadire che l’azzeramento dei rifiuti è la conservazione della natura attraverso la produzione, il consumo, il riutilizzo e il recupero responsabili di prodotti, imballaggi e materiali senza incenerimento e senza scaricare nei terreni, nell’acqua o nell’aria quelle che sono delle minacce per l’ambiente o la salute umana. 

In qualità di organizzazioni all’avanguardia per quanto riguarda i principi e le strategie “Rifiuti Zero”, vogliamo sottolineare che qualsiasi programma che utilizzi il termine “Rifiuti Zero” deve concentrarsi innanzitutto sulla riduzione e sulla prevenzione dei rifiuti, attraverso le seguenti azioni:

• Investire risorse e adottare politiche impegnate nella prevenzione della produzione e dello smaltimento dei rifiuti.
• Ridurre al minimo i prodotti usa e getta e trovare il modo di sostituirli con alternative durevoli e riutilizzabili.
• Sviluppare modalità di distribuzione dei prodotti senza l’uso di imballaggi monouso, utilizzando imballaggi realizzati con materiali facili e sicuri da riutilizzare o, in mancanza di questi, da riciclare o reinserire nei cicli biologici al termine di un lungo ciclo di vita.
• Trasformare il sistema produttivo in modo da realizzare innanzitutto prodotti necessari, durevoli e riparabili, o quanto meno realizzati con materiali biodegradabili o riciclabili in modo sicuro.
• Promuovere lo sviluppo di economie locali che riducono  la distanza tra chi produce e chi consuma, favorendo l’uso di imballaggi a rendere,  lavabili e la vendita di prodotti sfusi.
• Permettere ai cittadini di recuperare la sovranità alimentare: coltivando cibo sano e privo di sostanze tossiche per nutrire e non solo  per trarre profitto, riducendo al minimo gli sprechi alimentari e ridistribuendo le eccedenze prima che perdano le loro qualità nutrizionali.
• Laddove si generano scarti riciclabili, gestirli a livello locale e, se esistono gruppi o cooperative di gestione  di rifiuti, coinvolgerli nell’intero sistema di gestione dei rifiuti.
• Riconoscere il ruolo e il contributo dei gestori e raccoglitori locali di rifiuti nel sistema Rifiuti Zero.
• Evitare il più possibile l’uso di fibre sintetiche nell’abbigliamento e nel tessile e affrontare lo spreco del “fast fashion.” 
• Evitare le esportazioni di rifiuti che perpetuano il colonialismo, l’ingiustizia e l’iniquità. 
• Eliminare l’incenerimento dei rifiuti – in qualsiasi forma – dai programmi di gestione dei rifiuti.

 In sintesi, Rifiuti Zero significa estrarre dalla natura solo ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno e assicurare che tutte le comunità prosperino, rispettando i confini planetari per rigenerare ciò che prendiamo e permettendo il ripristino di     ciò che restituiamo alla natura.

Le organizzazioni che sottoscrivono questa dichiarazione chiedono agli Stati membri delle Nazioni Unite di unirsi ai nostri sforzi per costruire iniziative Rifiuti Zero in tutti gli angoli del pianeta. Queste iniziative devono riportare la giustizia nelle comunità che sopportano il peso dell’inquinamento dovuto allo smaltimento dei rifiuti, all’estrazione di materie prime vergini e ai processi di produzione industriale, e soprattutto ripristinare giustizia ed equilibrio nei confronti della natura, senza la quale non c’è futuro per l’umanità.

NYILATKOZAT

NEMZETKÖZI HULLADÉKMEGELŐZÉSI VILÁGNAP

2023. március 30.

Nulla hulladékkal egy jobb világért!

A Globális Szövetség a Hulladékégetés Alternatíváiért (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, GAIA) egy alulról szerveződő csoportokból, valamint országos és regionális szövetségekből álló hálózat, amely 92 ország több mint 1000 szervezetét képviseli, és olyan jövőt épít, ahol az erőforrások hulladékká alakítása helyett a  természet védelmére kerül a hangsúly. Az egyéni, valamint kollektív szokások és gyakorlatok megváltoztatásán dolgozunk a lakosság szemléletének formálásával, közösségek szervezésével, zero waste rendszerek bevezetésével, és a szakpolitikákat érintő érdekérvényesítés segítségével helyi, országos és nemzetközi szinten.

Örömünkre szolgál, hogy az Egyesült Nemzetek Szervezete úgy döntött, hogy március 30-át Nemzetközi Hulladékmegelőzési Világnappá nyilvánította. A hulladékmegelőzés fontosságának felismerésében visszaköszön a világ különböző pontjain működő szervezetek több évtizedes társadalmi-környezeti aktivizmusa. E szervezetek együtt dolgoznak azon közösségekkel, amelyeket leginkább érintenek a természeti erőforrások kizsigerelése és a globális túltermelés rendszere által okozott környezeti és társadalmi igazságtalanságok.

A mai napon is szeretnénk megerősíteni, hogy a nulla hulladékra való törekvés az összes erőforrás megőrzését jelenti a termékek, a csomagolóanyagok és anyagok felelős előállítása, fogyasztása, újrahasználata és hasznosítása révén anélkül, hogy elégetnénk azokat. Azt is jelenti továbbá, hogy nem történik olyan káros kibocsátás a földbe, a vízbe vagy a levegőbe,  amely veszélyeztetheti a környezetet vagy az emberi egészséget.

A hulladékmegelőzés elveit és stratégiáit a frontvonalban képviselő szervezetekként szeretnénk hangsúlyozni, hogy minden olyan programnak, amely a „zero waste” kifejezést használja, mindenekelőtt a hulladék csökkentésére és megelőzésére kell összpontosítania, a következő pontok tettekre váltásával:

• Fektessük be a szükséges erőforrásokat, és dolgozzunk ki olyan szabályozást, amely megakadályozza a hulladék keletkezését és ártalmatlanítását.
• Csökkentsük minimálisra az egyszer használatos termékeket, és keressük meg a módját, hogy lecseréljük őket tartós vagy újrahasználható alternatívákra.
• Oldjuk meg a termékek kiszállítását eldobható csomagolás használata nélkül; olyan anyagokból készült csomagolás használatával, amely könnyen és biztonságosan újrahasználható, vagy ennek hiányában újrahasznosítható vagy visszahelyezhető a biológiai körforgásba a hosszú élettartama végén.
• A termelési rendszereket úgy alakítsuk át, hogy  mindenekelőtt szükséges, tartós és javítható termékeket állítsunk elő, vagy azok legalábbis biológiailag lebomló vagy biztonságosan újrahasznosítható anyagokból készüljenek.
• Fejlesszük a helyi gazdaságokat, amelyek csökkentik a távolságot a termelők és a fogyasztók között, előnyben részesítve a visszaváltható és mosható csomagolások használatát, valamint a termékek ömlesztett értékesítését.
• Szerezzük vissza az emberek méltóságát az élelmezés terén – a mérgező anyagoktól mentes, egészséges élelmiszerek előállításával, amelyek értékes táplálékként szolgálnak, és nem csak az anyagi haszonszerzés eszközei. Szorítsuk vissza az élelmiszerpazarlást, és gondoskodjunk a felesleges élelmiszerek újraelosztásáról, mielőtt azok elveszítik minőségüket.
• Helyben kezeljük az újrahasznosítható selejt termékeket, és ahol vannak hulladékkezelő szövetkezetek, vonjuk be őket a teljes hulladékgazdálkodási rendszerbe.
• Ismerjük fel a helyi hulladékkal foglalkozó munkások és hulladékgyűjtögeők szerepét és hozzájárulását a zero waste rendszerben.
• Amennyire csak lehetséges, kerüljük el a szintetikus anyagok használatát a ruhákban és a textíliákban, és küzdjünk a „fast fashion” pazarlása ellen.
• Kerüljük el a hulladékexportot, amely állandósítja a gyarmatosítást, az igazságtalanságot és az egyenlőtlenséget.
• Szüntessük meg a hulladékégetés minden formáját a hulladékgazdálkodási programokban.

Összefoglalva tehát a zero waste kifejezés azt jelenti, hogy csak azt vonjuk ki a természetből, amire szükségünk van, és biztosítjuk, hogy minden közösség virágozzon, miközben tiszteletben tartjuk a bolygónk határait, hogy újratermelődhessen az, amit elveszünk, és kellőképpen ártalmatlanítsuk azt, amit visszahelyezünk a természetbe.

A nyilatkozatot aláíró szervezetek felszólítják az Egyesült Nemzetek Szervezetének tagállamait, hogy csatlakozzanak erőfeszítéseinkhez a nulla hulladékkal kapcsolatos kezdeményezések kiépítése érdekében a világ minden sarkában. A kezdeményezések célja helyreállítani az igazságosságot a hulladék ártalmatlanításából, a szűz nyersanyagok kitermeléséből és az ipari gyártási folyamatokból származó szennyezés terhét viselő közösségeknél, és mindenekelőtt helyreállítani az igazságosságot a természetben, amely nélkül nincs jövője az emberiségnek.
