Our Waste Audit with Low Waste Collective
In June 2021, AnaMarie King, community organizer and Retail Specialist at Femme Fatale DC, invited Liz Crowther to complete a waste audit. We compiled a week’s worth of discards and waste and Liz, founder of Low Waste Collective, carefully assessed every ounce of our material waste.
As a team, we learned a considerable amount about sorting, cleaning and preparing items for end-of-life (landfill) and recycling. Along with material information about complex plastics, sorting procedures and city mandates, we received charts and actionable methods to process our discards, effectively reducing our overall waste.
