Commercial Waste : Any waste material produced as a byproduct of commercial or industrial activity.

We are seeing the consequences in bushfires, acidifying oceans and locust invasions – which could push millions of people in East Africa into hunger. Keeping wild spaces wild, stopping deforestation and restoring degraded land to protect biodiversity, boost food production and store carbon. Making agriculture biodiversity positive.
