Study tour
Zero Waste Europe’s Study Tours provide a brilliant opportunity to gain hands-on experience and knowledge that you will need to help implement zero waste plans in your city.
Our Study Tours help connect leading figures and officials from across Europe working on zero waste and circular economy issues, providing an excellent opportunity to speak to experts and practitioners at all levels and share your experiences with participants from all over the continent.
We have organised previous Study Tours to best practice cities in Italy, the Basque Country, Spain, Flanders, Belgium and Sweden. These Study Tours have taken participants to Michelin Star Zero Waste restaurants, best in class Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and innovative reuse centres.
