Zero Waste Week – 7 to 13 September 2026

Did you know that in the Netherlands, we never eat a quarter of all our food? All that food is grown, processed, transported, chilled and heated. We put a lot of energy into it – energy that contributes to global warming. This makes it all the more important that we waste as little food as possible. To raise awareness of this, we’re organising Waste-Free Week. A week full of fantastic initiatives and enthusiastic responses! Waste-Free Week runs from 7 to 13 September 2026. Of course, you shouldn’t just be waste-free for one week, but ideally all year round. Be inspired by the tips on this page (https://samentegenvoedselverspilling.nl/kennisbank/tips-voor-thuis-tegen-verspilling) and help prevent food waste. A simple action for a better climate!
