The Zero Waste Festival explores various subjects surrounding the zero waste movement such as responsible consumption, waste management, minimalism, ecology and other topics through a program of conferences, panels, and workshops. The Festival also hosts an exhibitors fair and displays a zero waste model apartment. The Festival aims to inform, educate, and offer various eco options to the festival-goers, whether they are advanced or beginners in the zero waste journey. The purpose of the Festival is to demonstrate that we can all play a role in this change for a better world, one step at a time.
Are you interested in getting involved with the Festival? We’re always looking for new volunteers, exhibitors or even partners. We’re looking forward to working with you!
How was the Festival created? Three years ago, a hard-working team of committed citizens working for the Quebec Zero Waste Association brought this idea to life! The first edition dates back to 2017 and was a tremendous success, attracting 7,000 visitors!
Our mission? To raise awareness and inspire citizens, governments, businesses, and local groups to the many benefits of the zero waste journey for the environment, health, and the Quebec society. The Association provides the tools and knowledge to guide and initiate change.
