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!
