NO The third annual International Day of Zero Waste will be observed on 30 March 2025. A zero-waste vision promotes sustainable production, and consumption patterns and encourages a shift towards the use of lifecycle approaches. This ensures that no materials or resources go to waste, enabling society to recognize waste as a resource. This year, for the first time, the day will be observed under the theme “Towards zero waste in fashion and textiles”. The fashion and textiles sector embody the zero-waste agenda – from the importance of bolstering waste management globally to the need for reducing waste generation, and promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns.
