Zero Waste

Specialist Training

What is ZeroWaste Training?

ZeroWaste Training is a program developed by R.O.L.E. Foundation to train local people or company staff to become a ZeroWaste Specialist with knowledge about waste management, permaculture, composting and other zero waste practices.

The aim is to have every type of waste become more valuable and less waste send to the landfill. Company staff can apply the knowledge in their office, and individuals can apply their gained knowledge into their household practices, or share it with community members to improve their environment’s sustainability.

Most important is to separate organic from non-organic waste, before it’s going to landfill. Roughly 65-80% of solid waste is organic. It is this part of waste that makes it smell bad. Organic waste (65-80%) in landfills produces methane gas, which contributes 23 times more to global warming than CO2. Using organic waste for composting is an ideal solution for reducing organic waste. 

Non-organic waste can be further separated, so that each type becomes more valuable as either recycled or upcycled material. Non-organic waste mostly consists of plastic, glass, metal, paper, textiles, hazardous waste, and e-waste. The value of this waste can be upgraded by selling it, or by recycling and upcyling practices.

Permaculture practices are supported by quality compost and knowledge of organic fertilizers and pesticides. With a circulair approach of gardening you will reduce your ecological footprint and ultimately produce zero waste and pollution.
