The III Estonian Zero Waste Conference, titled “Circular Systems are a Reality,” is set to take place at the Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu this Wednesday and Thursday (October 2 and 3). This year’s event will focus on existing systemic zero waste solutions, and demonstrate how zero waste cities and systems are not merely theoretical but there are living examples throughout Europe.
Visitors to the event can look forward to a variety of engaging workshops covering topics such as organic waste separation, reuse systems, and sustainable event management. Moreover, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about successful waste-free management experiences from Slovenia, Portugal, Montenegro, and many other parts of Europe.
This conference aims to not only highlight existing achievements in zero waste initiatives, but also inspire further innovation and collaboration in the pursuit of improving sustainable living practices.
