Our Zero Waste initiative invites to rethink waste, waste management and consumerism based on the three R:s; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Zero Waste Jam
Jam produced in the spirit of Zero Waste from the fruits of abandoned fruit trees and berry bushes or donated fruits and berries. The aim is to create mini-franchising units where young people create their own work opportunities, learn about social entreprenurship and zero waste-thinking throughout production, marketing, sales, etc. This summer we will start experimenting with business models – and jam!

Zero Waste Apparel
The Good Tribe’s fashion designer Alexandra Pötz is developing a collection that is entirely Zero Waste. Her first collection will only include what you would wear when cooking! It will be presented middle of May in Graz in collaboration with the restaurant Mangolds. The presentation will be combined with a series of children and family Do It Yourself up-cycling workshops and the presentation of our white paper What is Zero Waste? The long-term goal with Zero Waste Apparel is to move beyond a single collection to creating working opportunities in a zero waste production of apparel.
