In addition to our core networks, Zero Waste Europe is a member of several European and overseas alliances and coalitions, bringing our holistic approach to a zero waste future and applying it to topics as diverse and as relevant as chemical-free items, plastic pollution, or food policy.
An informal group of civil society organisations, social and environmental movements, and political parties that share a common vision for a transition to climate-neutral societies that is just, fair, sustainable, safe, and benefits all. This includes re-shaping our economies, creating a new world of work, planning, and acting locally. We aim to tackle inequalities, mainstream Just Transition through policy, recognise the role of education in the transition, deliver global climate justice, and draw on human rights frameworks and science.
ZWE's contribution to the Alliance focuses on just transition and environmental justice principles in waste management and resource use approaches.
