About

Dealing with the waste of a consumer society is one of the greatest challenges of our modern times. But UPS' Sustainability Director, Peter Harris wonders: what if waste weren't waste at all? He proposes a plan where methane from the trash we produce fuels the machines that transport our critical goods; a closed-loop, circular economy that powers our world along the way.
