Transitioning
A resource recovery centre, sometimes called a park, is a centralized location that houses all the components of the cradle to cradle recovery system of Zero waste.
At a park there would be the drop off area to take in waste and recyclable materials. There would also be an area where the materials are separated into reusable materials. Finally, business that reuse those materials to make a new product would be located in the park. There would also be a composting site and maybe even a community garden in some plans Ideally, very little would be landfilled.
