1. About us
1. About us
We are an independent and non-profit organization born in 2005
We want to change the consumption and production model towards Zero Waste
We drive transforming actions and policies on waste prevention and responsible consumption networking with social and economic agents
1. About us
2. Why a Zero Waste Society?
2. Why a Zero Waste Society?
Prevention priority is not implemented
Increase of waste generation
Difficulties on reaching the recycling targets on the context of an increasing generation
Products are not designed to be durable, reusable, repairable nor recycled (programmed obsolescence)
Depletion of natural resources, greenhouse gases emissions, environmental and health problems
Because of the unsustainability of the current model
2. Why a Zero Waste Society?
Rezero’s ecological waste hierarchy
REDUCTION
RECYCLING
REUSE REPAIR
LandfillIncineration
Energetic valorisation
2. Why a Zero Waste Society?
We need new perspectives and solutions for the future

5. Campaing to reduce plastic bags in Catalonia
Why the plastic carrier bag?
• Symbol of throwing-away.
• Easy solution: replaced by reusable alternatives.
• All sectors need to work together
• Strategic: it's reduction can be iconic of waste prevention
• First step to implement waste prevention regulatory measures (proposal of a Catalan Waste Prevention
Law).
Starting the campaign
• Study “Reduction of the disposable plastic bag in Catalonia” (2007)– Aim: assessing different measures for an effective reduction of disposable plastic bags in Catalonia
– Conclusion:
No plastic bags free of charge.
Voluntary agreements are not enough.
Environmental tax of 0’20€ per bag. Catalunya has legal competence.
A process of debate between all stakeholders was necessary: Catalunya Lliure de Bosses
campaign (May 2008)
Place the bag issue at a social, political and media debate.
Get supports from all sectors.
Ask the Catalan Government the regulation of plastic bags: environmental tax of 0'20€/bag as a
dissuasive measure to reduce its consumption. Economic fund for waste prevention campaigns.
Set the Plastic Bag Free Day on 3rd July

• Constituted by the Catalan Government. Promoted by Catalan Waste Agency (ARC, 2009)
• Aim: decide the most suitable system to replace the free distribution of disposable plastic
bags. Beyond voluntary agreements.
• Representatives of all sectors involved
• Plastic Bag Committment: voluntary agreements to reach reduction of 30 % by 2009 and
50% by 2012.
If not reached: stronger measures.
• Results: reduction of 50% bags/person, compared to 2007 (ARC). Consumption in 2015:
164 bags/person/year
Government Committee
• Finally the Catalan Government implemented a law to ban delivery of carrier plastic bags for
free in all shops and home delivery.
• Since 2018 carrier plastic bags can't be delivered for free in all Spain.
Ban on free plastic bags in 2017
First set in Catalonia, then spread all over. Global call to action (plasticbagfreeday.org)

• Has helped in understanding the concept of “waste prevention”.
• Led many supermarkets to stop distributing free plastic bags and reduce its consumption.
• Promoted the use of alternatives.
• Efficient tool to raise awareness.
• Useful to join and show the support of many sectors for waste reduction.
• We keep asking the Government an environmental tax for a higher reduction of plastic bags.

7. Deposit-Return System (DRS) pilot implementation for beverage
containers in Cadaqués (Catalonia)
Foundation for waste prevention and responsible consumption
2/3 of beverage packaging are not managed through EPR
Some costs are not met by Green Dot Systems:
Littering (beaches!)
Disposal
Separate collection at a standstill
Glass below objective set by European Packaging Directive
Lightweight packaging on the verge (very low objective)
Weak Producer Responsibility
In the European survey “Use of Economic instruments and waste management” (2012), itis stated that the adoption of economic instruments helps to improve the performance of waste management
Among the economic instruments should be considered: Charges for waste disposal and treatment (landfill & incineration taxes) Pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) schemes Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Schemes for specific streams (packaging, ELV,
WEEE, batteries, etc.)
The Deposit-Return & System (DRRS) fits in the EPR Concept
Economic instruments & Waste Management
The producer or packager establishes a system to make possible the recovery of theirpackaging.
To ensure this recovery, the producer or packager, thorough the seller, establishes a DEPOSIT (an economic value associated with each container) that costumer must pay in advance.
Once the costumer deliver back the empty container to the system (shop or authomaticmachine), the amount advanced is fully REFUNDED to the costumer.
RETURN means that the container can return to the production line, for reusing or recycling, closing the cycle, where there is no waste but resources.
The Deposit-Refund System (DRS) CONCEPT
Located in North CataloniaWith only 3.000 inhabitants, its geographical characteristics give it a character of islandat all levels
Cadaqués, the Island Village
GENERAL TARGETS
To show the feasibility of a DRRS.
To assess the impact of DRRS on local waste management from environmentaland economic point of view.
Showcase for retailers, companies, NGO and administration.
To assess return rate with deposit.
SPECIFIC TARGETS
To assess return level with 5 € cent deposit.To assess the general acceptance by the
population
To assess impact in littering and currentwaste collection system.
Main Targets
The expected performance of a DRRS

Temporary DRRS for one-way beverage containers: April15th – June 30th, 2013
Containers with 5 € cent deposit: Packaging:
Plastic (PET) (< 3 liter) Cans
Beverages: Water Juices Beer Soft drinks
What’s the pilot project about?
2 supermarkets with automatic return machines
8 shops with manual return system
Local Retailers involved
Consumers left a deposit of 5 euro cents for eachcontainer when bought their drinks
When returning each container, either manually of through the automatic machine, the consumer recovered the 5 euro cents of the deposit.
The ticket of the automatic machine is discountedfrom the next puchase or delivered in cash.
Containers collected from shops where stored in bagsand labeled with a barcode to recognise which shop thecontainers came from
The bags where transported to the counting center, located in the industrial area of Cadaqués, where they were compacted in bales

Return of containers (ut) 10.246 31.223 39.714 81.183
Sales and Return of containers subjected to DRRS by months (15 April–30 June)
1. The return level was growing overtime, with uneven behaviour between weeks due to climatic factors (rainy days during Easter) and tourist fluctuation.
2. Last week of June the level of return reached 91 %.
Quantitative Results
Quantitative Results. III
The Separate Collection and Recovery of Packaging increased from 12 % to 66,6 %, which means multiply by 5 the existing levels of separate collection & recovery before the introduction of DRRS pilot project.

(no DRRS)
After the pilot
(with DRRS)
Effect on Separate Collection & Recovery of Packaging
The financial incentive helps to clean the town: giving an economic value to beverage containers it becomes more difficult to find them abandoned the town, beaches and natural areas.

8. Campaigns to reduce food waste
Circular economy and sustainability in restaurants and shops
Food waste throughout the chain
58% Homes
26% Commerce
1% Municipal market
9% Small commerce
16% Supermarket
16% Restauration
12% katering and private restauration
4% Institutions: katerings and restoration and restoration induced by institutional demand (hospitals, schools, residences, public administration canteens, public events, etc.)
The numbers of food waste in Catalonia
841 milions €/any
720.000 kg of food daily and 262.471 annual tones, equal to the food needs of 500,000 people for a year
The numbers of food waste in Catalonia
Food wasteWe are all part of the solution
Prevent: reduce overproduction
Reuse surplus food effectively. Prioritize human consumption
Collaboration between sectors: solutions that promote the circular economy and new opportunities for everyone.
Law for the reduction of food waste in Catalonia: in process .
Europe - Circular economy package: requires member states to apply measures to reduce food losses throughout the food chain. And recommend reducing them 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2050 compared to 2014 data.
PRECAT20 (Program for the prevention and management of waste and resources in Catalonia) establishes as a priority objective for the year 2020 to reduce by 50% by weight the food waste in retail distribution, catering and domestic area with respect to 2010.
