International Zero Waste Day, how to do it

In 2022, at their 77th annual meeting, the United Nations General Assembly made a crucial decision: to declare March 30 as International Zero Waste Day. This global proclamation is a solemn reminder of the urgency to act on the growing waste crisis that threatens our planet.

Our landfills are overflowing, our oceans are choking in plastic and our ecological footprint continues to grow. The need to transition to a zero-waste society is more pressing than ever, given its devastating impacts on climate, biodiversity and human health.

So how can we transition to a zero waste lifestyle? Producers must rethink their practices to reduce packaging and favor sustainable materials. Likewise, consumers have a crucial role to play by opting for local, bulk products and avoiding single-use items.

It is a challenge that requires the involvement of everyone: governments, businesses, communities and individuals. Together we can work towards more effective waste management policies and promote sustainable practices at all levels of society.

And what better way than to start today by choosing more environmentally friendly options? Nowa Market offers a range of quality products, mostly local and without unnecessary packaging. By shopping with us, you are helping the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
