SUMMARY:III Estonian Zero Waste Conference ''Circular Systems are a Reality''
DESCRIPTION:On Oct 2-3\, 2024 the Let’s Do It Foundation will be organising in Tartu\, Estonia the III Estonian Zero Waste Conference\, this year titled “Circular Systems are a Reality”. \nAs the title says\, this year our focus is on already existing systemic zero waste solutions. Zero waste cities and systems are not a theoretical possibility but living examples all over Europe and we wish to bring together some of them. For example the use of reusable tableware at public events that from the beginning of 2024 is compulsory all over Estonia\, or Zero Waste Cities and Business certification schemes. \nOne of the main principles of Let’s Do It Foundation is providing possibilities for true learning. Therefore there are no plenary presentations and lectures at our conference. It will offer a variety of learning workshops on the first day and world cafe style networking and experience sharing from different initiatives all over Europe on the second day. The conference ends with our already traditional panel discussion where the speakers are conference participants themselves\, who will be selected during the conference. \nThe host city of this year’s conference is Tartu\, that carries the title of the European Capital of Culture 2024 that has also put considerable effort into environmentally friendly event management. \nSome of the topics covered at the conference are:  \n\nZero Waste events\nEffective communication with stakeholders\nReuse systems\nZero Waste Cities and Business certification schemes\n\nThe conference is open for everyone*\, but the content is most relevant for: \n\nRepresentatives of local municipalities and ministries\nLocal and regional development centres\nEducators and trainers\nCircular business model enthusiasts\nHigher education representatives\nEnvironmental organisations and initiatives\n\n*The conference will be held in English (some sessions are held in Estonian). The number of spots is limited.

SUMMARY:Circularity in commercial real estate a conversation with Stefanie Behrendt
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we will explore how circular economy principles can be applied to existing commercial buildings to reduce waste\, optimize resource use\, and improve sustainability. We’ll discuss the operational advantages of implementing circular practices\, the evolving regulatory landscape around sustainability\, and how commercial properties can measure and certify their progress in achieving waste reduction and resource efficiency. Attendees will learn how adopting circular strategies can enhance environmental performance while contributing to long-term value and a collaborative mindset in the real estate market. \nJoin us for an insightful webinar exploring how circular economy principles can transform the way we manage waste in existing commercial buildings. In this session\, we will be joined by Stefanie Behrendt\, Co-founder and CEO at WeGoZero\, and Senior Director at Modesta\, who brings a unique blend of expertise in both zero waste initiatives and real estate management. \nAs the real estate industry is responsible for nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 30% of global material use\, there is growing pressure for businesses to adopt more sustainable and socially responsible practices. Stefanie will share her insights on how digitization\, urbanization\, and corporate responsibility reshape the built environment\, and how circularity can be applied to existing properties to reduce waste\, optimize resource use\, and create long-term value. \nKey discussion points will include: \n\nHow the real estate industry can embrace circular economy principles in operating buildings.\nThe role of digitization in waste reduction and resource optimization in commercial properties.\nThe evolution of the EU policy landscape (Green Claims\, reporting\, etc.) \nThe intersection of social and environmental corporate responsibility and how it’s influencing real estate.\nStrategies for measuring and certifying progress toward sustainability goals in existing buildings.\nReal-world examples of how businesses can take concrete steps toward zero waste while enhancing efficiency and competitiveness.\n\nStefanie’s extensive experience in real estate management\, combined with her passion for zero waste\, makes this conversation a must-attend for anyone looking to drive sustainability and innovation in the commercial real estate sector. \nSpeaker  \nStefanie Behrendt is the Co-founder and CEO of WeGoZero and Senior Director at Modesta\, where she champions sustainable practices in the real estate industry. With an academic background in real estate management and licenses as a property developer and trustee\, Stefanie combines her expertise in zero waste with her deep knowledge of the built environment. \nPartner  \nWeGoZero is a Zero Waste Consultancy based in Amsterdam transforming organisations waste upstream towards circularity\, ensuring operating within planetary boundaries while making waste a profitable asset.

SUMMARY:Jornadas técnicas sobre sistemas de recogida de la fracción orgánica - Arcos de la Frontera\, 21 | Salobreña\, 23 de enero de 2025
DESCRIPTION:  \nPresentación de la Organización \nCOAMBA\, Zero Waste Europe / Mission Zero Academy y Anthesis organizan unas Jornadas Técnicas sobre la gestión de biorresiduos. Presentamos experiencias y contenidos sobre las diferentes metodologías y sistemas de recogida de la FORM. Se celebrarán en Arcos de la Frontera y Salobreña\, los días 21 y 23 de enero\, respectivamente.   \nEl Colegio Profesional de Licenciados y Graduados en Ciencias Ambientales de Andalucía (COAMBA) es una corporación de Derecho Público sin ánimo de lucro creada en virtud de la Ley 2/2013\, de 25 de febrero\, del Parlamento de Andalucía. Es el máximo órgano público de representación de los más de 8.000 Licenciados y Graduados en Ciencias Ambientales\, y de los profesionales del medio ambiente en Andalucía. \nAnthesis España trabaja con organizaciones y líderes que desean acelerar significativamente su transición hacia un futuro más sostenible medioambientalmente. Defiende y acompaña a sus clientes hacia un rendimiento sustentable como gran fuerza transformadora. Desde el área de Residuos Municipales\, Anthesis contribuye a que los municipios gestionen la recogida de sus residuos de manera eficiente\, innovadora y con transparencia; con unos resultados acordes a la legislación actual y una ciudadanía consciente y corresponsable. Ofrece consultoría de alto valor con servicios de análisis de datos\, software propio de gestión y campañas de proximidad a la ciudadanía y resto de productores de residuos urbanos.  \nZero Waste Europe es una ONG con sede en Bruselas\, que apoya una red europea de comunidades\, líderes locales\, expertos y agentes del cambio que trabajan por la eliminación de los residuos en nuestra sociedad. Tiene como objetivo defender los sistemas sostenibles de consumo y el rediseño de la relación de la humanidad con los recursos\, acelerando una transición justa hacia el residuo cero en beneficio de las personas y el planeta. Misión Zero Academy (MiZA) es un centro de desarrollo de capacidades para responsables locales\, PYMES y otras organizaciones que deseen dar un paso hacia adelante en sus estrategias de residuos cero y en la aplicación de la economía circular. Ibérica Ambiente es la entidad acreditada por Mission Zero Academy para fomentar las políticas locales y desarrollar planes de residuo cero (Zero Waste) en España y Portugal.  \nJornadas técnicas sobre sistemas de recogida de la fracción orgánica \nPresentación: \nTras la promulgación de la Ley de Residuos en abril de 2022 son muchos los retos a los que se enfrentan las entidades locales en la gestión local de sus residuos municipales. Retos que no son nuevos. Desde las primeras décadas de este siglo son muchos los municipios que han abordado la gestión de sus residuos desde una perspectiva medioambiental. Actualmente\, la Ley 7/2022\, de 8 de abril\, de residuos y suelos contaminados para una economía circular viene a reforzar y dar legitimidad a esas iniciativas locales que hoy nos sirven de inspiración.  \nLa palanca de cambio más radical nos llega de la mano del impuesto al vertido. Este impuesto no se ha planteado para ahogar económicamente a los municipios\, ya que regula también la creación de la tasa no deficitaria\, creando una situación diferencial para promover la puesta en marcha de soluciones que minimicen el vertido de residuos en vertedero y potencien de forma inmediata la reducción en la producción\, a la vez que realza la importancia de la prevención y la reutilización y fomenta la recogida selectiva y reciclaje de todos los residuos susceptibles de ser recuperados y reintroducidos en el ciclo productivo.  \nSabemos hoy que abordar la gestión ambiental y de proximidad de la fracción orgánica\, por ser el componente con mayor porcentaje en peso\, es una decisión no solo obligada por nuestra ley\, sino acertada desde un punto de vista técnico\, y necesaria desde esa perspectiva medioambiental que todos y todas compartimos.   \nExisten ejemplos inspiradores de éxito en la gestión municipal de la FORM. Conocer las mejores prácticas\, sean de fuera o dentro de Andalucía\, nos va a facilitar la elección de los modelos de gestión de los biorresiduos más acordes con los condicionantes geográficos\, políticos y socioeconómicos de nuestras localidades. Son sistemas que\, además de buscar recuperar los biorresiduos\, promueven la participación ciudadana y la corresponsabilidad ambiental tanto en la puesta en marcha de comportamientos de consumo sostenible\, como de reducción o separación en origen\, ofreciendo un nuevo enfoque\, que conocemos con varios nombres  (alta eficiencia\, Residuo Cero\, etc) y que nos que lleva a plantear un cambio de paradigma.\n \nEstas jornadas nos permitirán conocer los modelos y sistemas de gestión de la fracción orgánica que hoy conviven en nuestro país\, así como los pros y los contras de cada uno. Desde el autocompostaje (compostaje doméstico\, comunitario o agro-compostaje) hasta los sistemas más innovadores de fiscalidad verde\, como el pago por generación (PxG) o el pago por participación (PxP). Tendremos la oportunidad de conocer las metodologías más avanzadas de PxG y PxP\, no exentas de dificultad y e incluso polémica\, también de la mano de técnico/as expertas en su desarrollo.  \nObjetivo: \nEstas Jornadas tienen triple objetivo: \n\nPromover la implantación de sistemas de gestión de la fracción orgánica de alta eficiencia y adaptados a la casuística de cada localidad;\nCrear un espacio de dialogo en el que poder comparar\, aprender y solventar dudas sobre los diferentes sistemas expuestos;\nAvanzar en la puesta en marcha de programas de prevención y reducción de residuos urbanos\, siguiendo los principios Residuo Cero y la jerarquía de los residuos.  \n\nDestinatarios: \nEmpleados públicos\, empresas de gestión de residuos\, responsables locales\, grupos de interés\, y otros participantes relevantes. \nLocalización y fecha: \nEn Arcos de la Frontera (Cádiz) y Salobreña (Granada). \n\nArcos de la Frontera: 21 de enero\n\nSalón de Actos del Ayuntamiento Nuevo\, Av.

SUMMARY:Reuse in action: a tale of two cities
DESCRIPTION:Zero Waste Europe\, in partnership with the cities of Aarhus and Copenhagen\, and with the support of Tomra and New Loop\, is hosting a two-day study tour in Denmark. We invite city officials\, policymakers\, civil society organisations\, producer responsibility organisations and reuse entrepreneurs to come together and explore how cities can scale reuse systems that actually work. \nOver these two days\, participants will: \n\nSee first-hand how city-wide reuse systems are reducing single-use waste\nHear from the people making change happen; and\nParticipate in workshops and discussions designed to give them a clear\, actionable blueprint for implementing reuse in their own city\n\nPractical information\nLocation: Copenhagen and Aarhus \nDates: 5-6 March 2026 \nPlaces available: 50 (priority access for ReuSe Vanguard Project (RSVP)\, Elevating Reuse in Cities (ERIC)\, and Mission Zero Academy (MiZA) cities and partners) – on a first come\, first served basis \n👉 To register and secure your spot\, please complete the registration form by 6 February 2026. \nWhy reuse – and why now?\nEuropean cities are drowning in single-use packaging. Every year\, an estimated 500 billion single-use cups are disposed of globally. Most are only used for a few minutes\, but they persist in the environment for centuries. Municipalities bear the cost: 30–50% of urban litter management budgets go to cleaning up single-use waste\, while recycling rates remain low. \nWhile more and more European cities are testing reuse through event pilots\, voluntary schemes\, or HoReCa initiatives – often alongside levies or regulatory measures to curb single-use – many critical questions remain: \n\nWhat makes a city-wide reuse system successful?\n\n\nHow can public-private partnerships be structured to enable competition while ensuring standardisation\, inclusivity\, and interoperability in the long run?\n\n\nHow can cities move from short-term pilots to durable\, scalable systems?\nWhich policy\, governance\, and financial frameworks deliver real results?\n\nThis field trip is designed to answer these questions – grounded in real operational experience and building on the expertise of a multi-stakeholder group of participants. \nFrom pilots to city-wide systems\nDenmark is leading the way with city-wide reuse systems that prove another model is possible. The cities of Aarhus and Copenhagen offer a real-world laboratory for cities ready to move beyond pilots and scale reuse effectively. \n\nAarhus: Since January 2024\, over 1.5 million reusable cups have been returned through the REUSEABLE system\, demonstrating city-wide reuse at scale across events\, nightlife\, and take-away.\n\n\nCopenhagen: In November 2025\, Copenhagen launched its city-wide reuse system\, helping cafés\, restaurants\, and stores to seamlessly integrate reuse into their daily operations.\n\n\nAgenda overview\n[subject to change]\n⚠️A detailed agenda will be available in January 2026 and sent to confirmed participants. \n\n4 March 2026 | Arrivals in Copenhagen\n\nEvening:\n\nOptional informal dinner for those who wish to join (at own cost).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5 March 2026 | Day 1 – Copenhagen\n\nMorning:\n\nPresentation and discussion: City of Copenhagen and New Loop\nSite visit to the citywide reuse system\n\n\nMidday:\n\nNetworking Lunch\n\n\nAfternoon:\n\nTravel together to Aarhus (bus/ferry or train – TBC) with debrief on the site visit.\n\n\nEvening:\n\nREUSEABLE – 2nd anniversary celebrations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 March 2026 | Day 2 – Aarhus\n\nMorning:\n\nWelcome and site visit to the citywide reuse system\n\n\nAfternoon:\n\nInteractive workshop for hands-on learning\, discussions\, and action planning – End of the programme (16.00)\nIndividual travel arrangements (at own cost)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLogistics and costs\n⚠️Attending this study tour is free of charge.  \nHowever\, participants are responsible for their own travel to and from Denmark and accommodation. A logistics pack will be provided to confirmed participants to help with travel arrangements and booking accommodation. \n➡️ Participants are expected to travel to Copenhagen on 4 March 2026\, as the event will start in the morning of 5 March 2026. \n\nWhat will you gain? \nThis two-day field trip and workshop\, part of the ReuSe Vanguard Project (RSVP)\, will: \n\nShowcase best-in-class reuse systems in Aarhus and Copenhagen.\nExplore the policies\, partnerships\, and infrastructure that make them work.\nEnable peer-to-peer exchange and hands-on problem-solving tailored to your city and context.\n\nParticipants will leave with a clear\, actionable blueprint for implementing or improving reuse systems in their community. \n\nWho should attend?\n\nCity and regional officials\nPublic authorities (national or EU)\nCivil society organisations\nProducer Responsibility Organisations\nReuse system operators and entrepreneurs\nResearchers and practitioners working on circular economy solutions\nWaste management operators\n\nExpect two intense and inspiring days of practical learning\, knowledge exchange\, and experience sharing with Europe’s reuse frontrunners.
