A world where nothing and no one is disposable! Anything that can’t be repaired, composted or recycled will need to be redesigned and replaced or taxed/banned.

Zero Waste Europe (ZWE) proposes to re-design our society in a way that all superfluous waste is eliminated and everything that is produced can be re-used, repaired, composted or recycled back into the system.

You can’t hide from data – and ours is loud and clear.

We already have too much incineration capacity in Europe, and we definitely don’t need more ❌

As part of the Global Week of Action to Stop Incineration, we call on European policy-makers to establish a moratorium on new and expanded capacity; and sooner rather than later.

Communities are often at the heart of campaigns against incineration facilities. No one knows better the cost they have to pay when waste is burned close to their homes 🏭 🔥

As part of the Global Week of Action to Stop Incineration (running from 13-16 October), join us for an engaging chat with local activists from Croatia, Nigeria and France. Together with moderator Danita Zarichinova (За Земята), they will discuss the risks that incinerators pose to people’s health and share their experience of organising their communities to fight back ✊

What if leftover school meals could feed people in need, with zero single-use plastic? 🍽️

Yesterday was the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, the perfect moment to share a concrete example of how a city can tackle food waste and single-use plastics at the same time.

Since 2022, the Spanish city of Cornellà de Llobregat has been recovering unserved meals from 5 public primary school canteens and redistributing them to people referred by social services. Everything travels in reusable containers, with no single-use packaging involved. 🚲

The model is simple, low-impact and easy to replicate in other municipalities, and it could be extended to kindergartens, care homes and community meal services.

👉 Read the full case study to discover how your city can do the same: https://zurl.co/MGaut

Developed together with Rezero - Fundació Prevenció Residus i Consum as part of the ERIC project (Elevating Reuse in Cities).

Getting waste incinerators included in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was and continues to be a massive win 💪 But… because, there is always a but, isn’t there?

Here it comes: the European Commission’s proposal allows certain types of incinerators – specifically, combined heat-and-power plants, which account for roughly 60% of the EU’s incinerators – to get a solid carbon cost discount in the first part of the phase-in 💸

What does this actually mean? Plant operators get an additional decade where the costs for polluting the climate are so low that they have no incentive to invest in more circular solutions.

Check out our new report on the issue with carbon pricing in the EU ETS 🆓 https://zerowasteeurope.eu/library/the-missing-carbon-price-signal-free-allocation-eu-ets/

🏆 Safety concerns have been used against reuse for years. New guidelines are turning that around.

Single-use food packaging carries real, well-documented health risks, from PVC to the plastics hiding in "paper" packaging. Yet reuse is the one accused of being "less hygienic."

In April 2026, we published new Safety Guidelines, giving businesses and reuse solution providers clear, practical criteria to prove their packaging is safe and hygienic, from material choice and manufacturing to testing, collecting, cleaning, and redistribution.

📅 Join us 24 September 2026, 14:00-15:30 (Brussels time) for a 90-minute webinar with:
🎤 Etienne Cabane, Engagement Director at Food Packaging Forum Foundation
🎤 Davide Mazzanti, CEO at Sykell
🎤 Dorota Napierska, PhD, Toxic-Free Circular Economy Policy Officer at Zero Waste Europe

We'll cover:
💬 How businesses can put the guidelines into practice, step by step
💬 Putting safety on equal footing with cost & environmental impact
💬 How to communicate this proof of safety to customers and citizens

🌊 Groups working for change don't stand still, and neither should the tools that support them.

"I think that everyone will benefit from exploring the toolkits, the stories, the guidelines that are in the Blueprint for Movement Building - because movements evolve, movements grow" says Marisa Nordstrom, UMI Fund.

As movements change, it's always worth coming back to the fundamentals: Where are our aligned values? Where is our aligned vision? How are we creating collective impact?

The Blueprint for Movement Building was created to help answer exactly those questions - practical toolkits, real stories, and guidelines to help support local community-led solutions and strengthen our ability to collaborate across different contexts.
