Zero Waste Essentials

Start your Zero Waste journey today! ‘Zero Waste’ stands for a sustainable and intelligent use

of our resources. This philosophy is inspired by nature and aims to get the most out of our

society, strengthen our local resilience and preserve natural resources for future generations.

In this Zero Waste training, participants gain knowledge about various waste issues and the

basic principles of Zero Waste. They understand the impact of waste on the environment and

learn about its potential as a recyclable material and source of raw materials. Participants

environmental footprint.

What they learn can be seamlessly integrated into their daily business to put change into action

and make a positive impact on their community and the environment.
