Fondation ReBin for Sustainable Development
ReBin - The Genesis
Mark Giannelli
President & Founder
Waste - A Reality
• The problems posed by waste are multiple and increase the vulnerability of the population.
• They create real risks for humanity with hundreds of thousands of deaths per year caused solely by their effect on water.
• Damage to human life and the environment is permanent.
• The amount of waste increases globally. The threat posed by society to its environment is immense.
Waste - A Reality
Waste - Another Reality
• The basis of a "Zero Waste" economy exists and we have seen it!
• Waste should no longer be seen as an inevitable cost, but as a resource to be exploited by industry, agriculture and households.
• "There is no waste on this planet, only misplaced resources" (Dr. Somthai)
Waste - Another Reality
ReBin - The Meaning
Reduce Reuse Recycle
“Consider the cherry tree: thousands of blossoms create fruit for birds, humans, and other animals, in order that one pit might eventually fall onto the ground, take root, and grow. The tree makes copious blossoms and fruit without depleting its environment. Once they fall on the ground, their materials decompose and break down into nutrients that nourish microorganisms, insects, plants, animals, and soil. Although the tree actually makes more of its product than it needs for its own success in an ecosystem, this abundance has evolved, to serve rich and varied purposes. In fact, the tree’s fecundity nourishes just about everything around it. What might the human built world look like if the cherry tree had produced?”
