We are an independent non-profit foundation that promotes a fairer, healthier and waste and toxic-free society. We do this through the generation of knowledge, political advocacy, carrying out pioneering projects and offering advice to social, economic agents and administrations.
Vision
At Rezero we long for a society that values the resources provided by natural systems and integrates all materials in cyclical processes, without toxic materials or products that are left unused.
A society aware of what it gets from nature and that respects the environment and people. This promotes a dignified life for everyone, stimulates people’s well-being and growth and democratic and equitable decision-making. A society that prioritizes personal relationships, in an open and supportive manner.
For Rezero, waste is an inefficiency of our production and consumption model that should not exist. In fact, they are resources that are out of place, that have been extracted unnecessarily or that have not been reintroduced into the productive system.
We believe:
• In the need to find solutions to move towards a more responsible society in the use of natural resources.
• In the strength of clear, comprehensible and contrasted information to accompany profound social, economic and cultural changes.
• In the need to demand (political, economic and social) measures from the (political and economic) power to guarantee a waste and toxic-free society.
• In the transformation capacity of informed, committed and demanding citizens.
Mission
We develop proposals for a waste-free society based on the prevention and reuse of products and materials.
• We facilitate networking between the agents involved in the most relevant sectors to influence the policies and practices that allow us to achieve a waste-free society.
• We develop knowledge to have reliable data and information to strengthen the debate for a new consumption model.
• We accompany and help organizations, companies and administrations to consolidate proposals to achieve Zero Waste.
