Zero-waste is a concept that the very idea of waste should be eliminated; instead, any and all products, resources, materials, and leftovers should be returned for further use in the same or in a different capacity. Shredded paper can be put in compost piles. Nothing should be thrown away, ever: there would be no such thing as waste.
