汤姆·萨奇 开始做不可能的事——消除所有的浪费。这本书描绘了一个“循环经济”的未来，它依赖于负责任的再利用和循环利用，推动世界朝着消除过度浪费的方向前进。
根据美国环境保护署的数据，仅在美国产生的2.4亿吨垃圾中，只有35%被回收利用。这一非同寻常的数据展示了制造商是如何从一种将世界垃圾掩埋到一个单一的浪费的经济中到循环利用的经济中的。
由回收先驱、生态资本家、TerraCycle创始人兼首席执行官汤姆·萨奇 掌舵，每一章都是由他或他所在领域的专家共同撰写的。从政府领导人、消费品公司、废物管理公司等不同的角度来看，这本书探讨了当前的生产和消费问题，以及今天改进包装和减少浪费的实际步骤，以及可以推进的大创意和概念。
这本书的目的是帮助每一个企业从一个小型的初创企业到一个大型的消费产品公司，这本书是知识和灵感的源泉。这些先驱者传递的信息不是缩小规模，而是要向上创新。他们提供的是一种引导我们从浪费中将自己设计得丰富的指南。
