The Zero Waste Training Handbook

The Zero Waste Training Handbook is a resource developed under the BEZWA project to empower changemakers and enhance their impact on zero waste at the local level. It supports the Zero Waste Ambassador and Trainer curricula by deepening topic understanding and providing exercises and materials for training. The handbook is divided into two main parts, with added chapters on values, wellbeing, and metacognition to enhance learning. It can be used as a complete guide or accessed by individual chapters for focused work on specific topics.

For future improvements, we welcome here your feedback after reading any of these documents.

This document is the result of the BEZWA project (Building a European Zero Waste Academy) – an Erasmus+ funded collaboration between five organisations with the main aim to create a strong educational framework in support of the zero waste cities movement in Europe. The project partners were Zero Waste Europe, Ekologi brez meja, Estonian University of Life Sciences and Tallinn University, with Let’s Do It Foundation (Zero Waste Estonia) as the project coordinator.
