在垃圾问题日益严峻、各地多年来由行政手段推动的垃圾分类收效不明显的背景下，全国有不少民间力量在以各种方式践行着零废弃理念，以实际行动验证着零废弃的可操作性和效果。这些环保NGO、社区、学校、企业的实践经验，具有可复制性，可使更多人看到：零废弃目标并不遥远。
Within the context of growing problems with waste and insignificant effects of local authority-led efforts in waste separation over the past years，there have been many forces in China’s civic society which are practicing the concept of “Zero Waste” in various ways，demonstrating its feasibility and remarkable effects through their action. The experience of these environmental NGOs，communities，schools and companies can be replicated and let more people see that we are actually not far from the goal of zero waste.
