Project description
The project focuses on improving business waste management through selective collection, awareness and technical audits, aimed at identifying opportunities for the recovery of materials that until now were not recovered. In the first phase, 7 audits were carried out on companies to analyze their waste flows and propose operational improvements.
Zero Banals works on the main challenges associated with this type of waste: poor separation at source, diversity of materials and costs conditioned by the lack of critical mass. Through joint collection models, shared logistics and the involvement of transforming companies and anchor companies, the project seeks to close material cycles and convert waste into useful resources for the business sector itself.
Results obtained
- Reduce the amount of trivial waste sent to landfill.
- Increase material recovery through collective systems.
- Improve the efficiency and competitiveness of participating companies.
- Promote business collaboration in terms of circular economy.
To highlight

- 7 audits carried out to analyze and optimize the management of trivial waste.
- Focus on joint collection to generate critical mass and reduce costs.
- Activation of transforming companies and anchor companies to close material cycles.
