How to get started in 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 prioritising reduction and prevention over other RRRs.
🔎
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 if it’s just with a photo.
This way you can assess your progress and celebrate small victories!
Join the Zero Waste movement!
‘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 sums up 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 up of many decisions and (re)learnings that, with the sum of many people, are shaping another model of consumption and society.

Frequently Asked Questions
Achieving zero waste may sound difficult or even impossible. But what is possible is to significantly reduce the amount of waste we generate. 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. Which products are repeated the most? Which ones are avoidable? Start reducing from there and you will notice important changes.
Also think about ways to buy less stuff, use more of what you already have and extend the life of the objects you already have at home.
To be a zero waste person you can adopt these habits:
· Reject what you don’t need (like flyers you get on the street) or beers in bars.
· Reduce consumption of products that have a short lifespan and opt for products that don’t have planned obsolescence or are easy to repair.
· Reuse bags, containers, glasses, box-n-rolls, boxes, etc…
· Compost the organic waste you generate.
