Summer holidays are around the corner for those who have not had the chance to leave town yet; and, even if we are pretty excited by the sun and hot temperatures, our Mission does not take any breaks. 😉

This month we collected some inspirational success stories and thrilling announcements - like Kiel becoming the first Zero Waste Candidate City in Germany and one of the first two Candidate Cities in Europe - followed by Munich and its Circular Economy Plan; as well as interesting insights on how to create a truly circular brand identity.

Last but not least, an exciting announcement: we asked Dr Andy Rees, Head of Waste Strategy in the Welsh Government’s Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy Division, to talk about crucial policies and measures outlined by the Welsh government to transition the nation towards zero waste by 2050. This will happen during our first-ever MiZA Webinar on the 14th of September 2021.

Happy reading and Summer holidays ☀️

The MiZA team

After working with MiZA, the Zero Waste Kiel association and their partner organisation Zero Waste Europe to help test and pilot the newly designed Certification, the City of Kiel passed a landmark vote to confirm their zero waste commitment.

❝The certification as ‘Zero Waste Candidate City’ underlines one more time our commitment to following the path towards Zero Waste. As the first German certified “Zero Waste Candidate City”, we want to be a role model and hope to inspire more cities in Germany to join the zero waste movement in the near future, too❞
