What exactly is a Zero Waste tour?
Guide Marije leads a walk along Zero Waste locations in Centrum West. Together with the participants, the guide visits the places she herself knows and likes, as well as the favourites of the Zero Waste community. This way, participants get the best tips and inside information!
We visit several locations, with a variety of offerings. There is something new for everyone to discover!
There is more than enough time to ask all your personal questions. Plus you meet like-minded people. The tours are always very enjoyable and inspiring.
Join us on the road prepared. What to bring.
Some of your own packaging to make purchases with, think jars, trays and bags. A sandwich bag and fresh food containers are recommended. And, of course, a sturdy backpack to carry everything.
Your own reusable cup.
A filled water bottle.
Fat bonus tip!
We like to end the tour together with a nice cup of coffee to talk after. That way we can exchange and let everything sink in. How cosy is that?
Guide
The guide of this tour is Marije. For many years she has been a regular guide for Zero Waste Netherlands, and she founded her own company De Duurzame Gids (The Sustainable Guide). The guide was created so that consumers do not have to search endlessly for sustainable products. Precisely because of the large supply, it is sometimes difficult to navigate: what is actually sustainable? As a consumer, how exactly can you find out? That’s where this guide helps you!
