At a time when global challenges feel overwhelming – waste generation, resource depletion, and policy rollbacks – there’s another story unfolding. 

Across Europe and beyond, a persistent and growing number of communities, cities, and businesses are proving that zero-waste solutions work in a range of contexts. 

This year’s State of Zero Waste Municipalities Report showcases data-driven progress and first-hand stories from those leading the transition to a circular future. This flagship Zero Waste Europe publication highlights how zero waste policies reduce waste, cut emissions, and build resilient, thriving communities.
