Broadening our public and educational zero waste activities

Zero Waste Kiel, founded in 2016, is a recognised environmental protection association that promotes waste prevention, the circular economy and sustainable living. We have been a key advocate for Kiel to become a Zero Waste City and have contributed significantly to the growth of the Zero Waste movement in Germany.

Building on our experience with initiatives such as the ‘Zero Waste Ambassador’ training for municipalities and NGOs as well as workshop series for children in Kiel schools, we want to expand our public and educational work both in Kiel and throughout the Baltic Sea region. Our aim is to reach a wide range of audiences: pupils, students, local authorities, associations, creative communities and sustainable businesses. We want to show that zero waste is a journey that everyone can take at their own pace, a question of creativity, halfway between circular economy and sufficiency, and a door to sustainability and more conscious consumption.

To fulfil our mission, we need to build our capacities, strengthen our organisational structures, form local alliances and professionalise our communication (e.g. website). We ask for your financial support and thank you very much for your contribution.
