2025 Zero Waste Festival

Location: Palo Alto, Barcelona

About the Zero Waste Festival

Co-organised by Rezero and Zero Waste Europe, and aligned with the observance of the 2025 UN International Day of Zero Waste, the 2025 Zero Waste Festival moves the transition towards a zero waste society as a response to the global eco-social crisis.

It is a space to generate and share knowledge and foster social and economic progress, encouraging co-responsibility among public and private sectors and civil society. The aim is to promote the common good by standardising production and consumption models to ensure lower toxicity, reduce resource use, and encourage reuse and product lifecycle extension.

The festival offers innovative solutions and supports transformative agents in building a fairer, healthier, and waste- and toxic-free society.
