Bring Zero Waste into schools

Education as a lever for less waste

Zero Waste Köln works in schools and out-of-school settings so young people learn separation, avoidance, and circular thinking: not guilt, but practical habits.

Current offers

• Bildungskoffer (in development with Universität Köln): a lending kit on waste, avoidance, and sorting for primary schools.
• Schulausstellung “Zero Waste Parcours”: travelling exhibition formats (see project pages for availability).
• Public talks and VHS evenings listed on the calendar.

For teachers and parents

Reach Team Schule/Bildung via bildung@zerowastekoeln.de for visits, materials, and volunteering (pedagogy helpful, not required).

Why it matters

Young people who learn separation and avoidance early carry those habits into adulthood, multiplying impact across households.
