<jats:p> In this four-page infographic, <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> offers insights into where the world's waste is coming from, where it is going, and how waste streams are changing. </jats:p>

<jats:p>Most people choose to ignore it, but managing waste is a pressing and contentious issue that is prompting a closer look at what we throw away—and where it ends up.</jats:p>

<jats:p>People have been sifting through trash for as long as society has been producing waste. But to most people, it's all just trash.</jats:p>

<jats:p>The flush toilet was a transformative invention, but experts say its time may be past and are pioneering ways to recover energy and nutrients from human waste.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Wastewater treatment plants are revamping themselves as resource recovery operations, saving—and even producing—energy and polluting less in the process.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Anammox bacteria, which convert ammonia into nitrogen gas in the absence of oxygen, could dramatically improve methods of removing ammonia from wastewater streams.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Carbon dioxide may be the ultimate industrial waste product. Could tropical corals provide a trick for locking it away in our highways?</jats:p>

<jats:p>The aversion to excrement, which is deeply rooted in the human psyche, gets in the way of sensible solutions to recycling wastewater.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Humans create vast quantities of wastewater through inefficiencies and poor management of water systems. The wasting of water poses sustainability challenges, depletes energy reserves, and undermines human water security and ecosystem health. Here we review emerging approaches for reusing wastewater and minimizing its generation. These complementary options make the most of scarce freshwater resources, serve the varying water needs of both developed and developing countries, and confer a variety of environmental benefits. Their widespread adoption will require changing how freshwater is sourced, used, managed, and priced.</jats:p>
