The Zero Waste Urban Parks Handbook

The aim of the handbook is to strengthen and spread zero-waste knowledge and skills among changemakers across European urban parks, and to empower them, by providing a set of best practices that can be implemented in green spaces, in order to improve waste management systems, with the ultimate goal of eliminating waste entirely.

This Handbook can be used as a guide to support the shift from waste management to resource management, in a broader circular system that considers not just the parks but also their nesting local communities. You can find zero-waste measures alongside associated costs, good impacts, possible problems, the co-creative process developed by this urban park community, plus some of the tools that were used to prepare the teams, to work the communication, or to build up the measures internally.

About Zero Waste Urban Parks
