Closed-loop Supply Chain
Ideally, a zero-waste supply chain that completely reuses, recycles, or composts all materials. However, the term can also be used to refer to corporate take-back programs, where companies that produce a good are also responsible for its disposal.

Yes, it is possible to produce zero waist...it's all around us in nature. Humans are the inventors and only producers of waste.
Definitely not in all cases if we are talking about the materials that we used in our lifetime. At ceratin points, some materials are not recyclable/reusable. On the other hand, some materials takes hundred of years to decompose...

Is it possible to have "zero-waste" in all cases? Is it possible to completely recycle, reuse, or compost all the materials from all the goods?
