In Western countries the phrase “zero emissions” (ZE) has two meanings: reduction of harmful chemical substances, and an industrial symbiosis that promotes the mutual use of waste and by-products. The United Nations University (UNU) Zero Emissions Forum (ZEF) constructed a wider-ranging concept to expand the one used in Europe and America. It covers reduction of energy and materials consumption, reuse of used products, recycling of materials, use of renewable energy and zero waste from factories. In addition, ZE is designed to create a recycling society; the concept involves not emitting polluting gases or sewage and waste from the community.
