How Can They Contribute to Zero Waste Management?

Architects can take the zero waste management model into account in their designs. They can design areas where waste can be collected separately according to their types, while the buildings are still at the planning stage. There are many and various design examples in this regard in the world. In some households, separate sections are designed in the courtyards for temporary waste storage. In some households, there are waste pipes within the apartment that end with containers where waste can be temporarily stored. In any case, generating waste management solutions at the design stage for any building is much easier and more efficient than adapting a system later.

Reducing unnecessary resource usage

In addition, architects can adopt a zero waste management approach in their offices and prevent unnecessary paper use during their designs. They can take preventive actions for the waste generated in the office and temporarily store the waste by separating it according to its type. Thus, waste management begins at the very beginning of the process.
