How to go zero waste?

💡

Act

Rethink, reject, reduce, reuse, repair and recycle. The best waste is the one that is not generated. Zero Waste is not about buying the latest eco-friendly product, but about using what you already have, reducing your needs and always prioritizing reduction and prevention over other ERs.

🔎

Find

We invite you to look around you, at home or at work. Observe the type of waste that is generated the most and start reducing from there. If you can, measure it, even with a photo.

This way you can evaluate your progress and celebrate small victories!

‘We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly. This maxim by Anne Marie Bonneau perfectly summarizes what is essential on this path: progress over perfection.

It’s about doing what you can, with what you have and enjoying the process. We are here to accompany you on this path and learn together.

Zero Waste is not just a theoretical framework, it is a daily practice made of many decisions and (re)learning that, with the sum of many people, configure another model of consumption and society.

Frequent questions

Getting to zero waste may sound difficult or even impossible. But what is possible is to greatly reduce the waste we generate. In addition, in many cases it also means saving time and money.

Always start by looking at the trash you normally generate, whether at home or at work. What products are repeated the most? Which ones are avoidable? Start reducing from there and you will notice major changes.

Also think about ways to buy less things, use more of what you already have, and extend the life of the items you already have at home.

We created Go Zero Waste to help people on the path to zero waste. We do it in different ways:

Adopting a zero-waste lifestyle has several benefits, such as protecting the environment by reducing the amount of waste we generate, decreasing pollution of oceans, rivers and soils. In addition, we help conserve natural resources by reusing and recycling materials. This allows us to live a healthier lifestyle, focused on generating zero waste.
