Paving the way together
to a circular tomorrow

Zero Waste Bornholm is a joint private and public Quadro Helix partnership and network paving the way to the world’s first industrialized society without waste based on the principles of a circular economy.  

Using the Island of Bornholm as a pulsing platform of innovation and co-creation, collaboration partners can gain actual, scalable knowledge by being able to test technologies and competencies before expanding on the growing global market with new waste and resource solutions.

Mega Challenges

The road to a zero-waste island and a zero-waste world winds both through challenging mountain tops and green valleys of opportunity.

The Mega Challenges we face must all be met in a strategic and impactful manner as we strive toward a circular society. Currently Zero Waste Bornholm is finding new solutions seeking scalability together with our partners within the Mega Challenges:

Road to 2032

A multi-pronged approach is needed to becoming waste-free in 2032.

Framework conditions in the near future require us to transition quickly to achieving high factual recycling rates, while working together on extended producer responsibility schemes and on waste prevention and reuse.

In the slightly distant future, we only have some knowledge of requirements and available solutions. In the distant future, most of this is unknown.

Working together enables us to act proactively to the changing landscape.
