Back to school with Interzero - environmental education with EcoPakka in a new guise

Did you know that Interzero is not only consulting, audits and environmental services? As part of our business and environmental activities, we also implement public education campaigns for the youngest and those a little older. These enable us to share our ecological knowledge and encourage a change to more sustainable habits.

Together with our customers, we are building public environmental awareness

Conducting public education campaigns is the responsibility of businesses introducing various products and packaged products. They are part of extended producer responsibility - they aim to raising environmental awareness in society as a whole.

As sustainability pioneers, we are happy to take on this responsibility from our clients, in return offering professional and reliable implementation of campaigns targeting different audiences. Campaigns implemented by the Interzero Environmental Education Team not only support the introduction of eco habits. Thanks to the funding of PKE, our clients gain the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to environmental and social issues.

Entrust the running of public education campaigns to Interzero!

Does your company have an obligation to run public education campaigns? We would be happy to we will carry them out on your behalf and, in addition, take over your recovery and recycling obligation! Complete our quiz and find out the best offer for your company!

Ecological teaching materials EcoPaks are recommended for ecology lessons in school and kindergarten

At Interzero, we know the importance of sound environmental education and building environmental awareness from an early age. Our public education campaign EcoPak is support for school and kindergarten teachers, eco-educators and parents. Its beneficiaries are children - from toddlers to primary school pupils. With them in mind, we have prepared a collection of original, professionally developed teaching aids:

  • colouring books,
  • worksheets,
  • lesson plans,
  • leaflets and brochures.

You will find all materials for environmental education under the download tab on the new, refreshed EkoPaki website. Colouring books and worksheets can be used both in the classroom and at home, for your own work.

Before the first bell rings, take a look at EkoPak teaching aids and plan interesting activities where children can discover the world of materials, raw materials and recycling on their own. The first excellent opportunity for a dose of ecological knowledge is on 15 September, on Packaging Day!

Enrol your school or kindergarten in the EcoPak Paper programme!

EcoPak is not only free printable material about ecology, but also a programme for pre-schools and schools in which the youngest learn about the different raw materials and the packaging they are made of. On 19 August, enrolment began for the next edition of EkoPaki - Papier, addressed to pre-schools and primary school grades 1-3 from Warsaw and neighbouring counties. As part of this campaign, children will learn about the history, production process and uses of paper, as well as how to recycle it correctly. Each class or group will receive a set of teaching, art and creative materialsmaking learning fun!

Enrol your school or pre-school in the EcoPak Paper programme - the number of free material kits is limited!

We are launching the "Recharge your batteries" campaign

We are launching the "Recharge your batteries" campaign

When we take care of the environment, do we also take care of ourselves? Our 'Charge Your Batteries' social campaign aims to show that wellbeing and ecology are inextricably linked. World Wellbeing Day and Battery Recycling Day, celebrated respectively 8 and 9 September, is an excellent opportunity to highlight how environmental care and mental health can support each other.

Conclusions of the report "Between plus and minus"

Our report, published in February 2024, reveals that young adults aged 18-35 are less likely to separate waste and more likely to doubt the point of recycling. As many as 31% of 18-24 year olds believe that batteries cannot be recycled. Furthermore, the younger generation is less knowledgeable about the proper disposal of used batteries than older generations.

We wanted our activities to arouse the interest of young adults, so we linked the topic of batteries, understood as a source of power for a variety of equipment, with our internal batteries, i.e. with mental wellbeing, which is particularly important these days. In our social campaign "Charge your batteries", we want to support recipients in building environmental awareness, showing that by doing something good for the planet, we are also doing something good for ourselves - explains Monika Grom, Vice President of Interzero

How can living in harmony with nature improve mental health? About ecopsychology

Ecopsychology, a strand combining ecology and psychology, shows that contact with nature significantly improves our wellbeing, reduces stress levels and increases happiness. Pro-environmental actions and psychological wellbeing are connected vessels - knowing that we are contributing to the protection of the environment gives us a sense of agency, control and meaning, which translates into better wellbeing.

Over the past few years, there has clearly been an increased interest in the topic of building health from a holistic perspective. We understand that everything both inside and outside of us is interconnected and influences each other. Following this line, one of the basic pillars of health becomes regular contact with nature. This, among others, is what ecopsychology, a science that is gaining increasing interest, deals with. Thanks to it, we increasingly appreciate the beneficial influence of nature on our mental condition, we are even more willing to benefit from its soothing properties, and regular contact with it allows us to relax more deeply and rebuild our inner resources. - says Orina Krajewska, President of the Board of Directors of the Malgosia Braunek Be Foundation, substantive partner of the campaign

How to take part in the campaign?

Campaign "Recharge your batteries" aims to encourage young adults to take up battery recycling and to show that ecology and mental wellbeing are closely linked.

We have teamed up with the Margaret Braunek Be Foundation for a series of four free webinars to help you find harmony between mental health and caring for the planet. The meetings require no registration - just join us.

  • 12 September '100% batteries. A conversation about ecopsychology - A new trend combining psychology and ecology in the service of the inner balance of modern man", by Orina Krajewska and Dr Julia E. Wahl.
  • 3 October "On the benefits of forest bathing, how to recharge your own batteries on a daily basis on the green?"., Katarzyna Grabka.
  • 23 October "Relieve tension - somatic practices to regulate stress and soothe the nervous system. What does the science say about the effectiveness and benefits of using Somatic Experiencing® techniques and how to practice for yourself?", Sandra Kłos.

Interzero Advisory Spółka z o.o joins the associated members of the Chamber of Electronic Commerce!

The development of Poland's digital economy plays one of the most important roles in shaping the country's future. We are on a timeline in the age of globalisation and the fastest technological progress to date - the ability to innovate and use modern digital tools is becoming the foundation of competitiveness on not just the national, but the international arena. The digital economy contributes to GDP growth and creates new jobs, supports the development of startups and fosters efficiency and sustainability in various sectors. In Poland, where traditional industries still play an important role, the development of the digital economy is particularly important to meet the challenges of the future. Looking further ahead in time - our challenges will be to reduce our dependence on raw materials, and to become more resilient to global shocks in the economic world.

What does the Chamber of the Electronic Economy do?

Chamber of the Electronic Economy works for the benefit of companies related to the electronic economy sector in Poland, with particular emphasis on those belonging to the e-Isba. Its main objective is to support the development of the Polish digital industry through cooperation, knowledge sharing, legislative initiatives and effective representation of the interests of its members in contacts with the institutions of the Polish government, the European Union and non-governmental organisations in the national and international arena.

Common goals, missions and views - why did Interzero become a member of the Chamber of the Electronic Economy?

Interzero has been making managing companies, businesses and green initiatives easier for decades. We are an industry leader - supporting sustainability by combining environmental protection with business needs - and these are constantly changing. There is no denying that environmental law is also an area that is rapidly evolving - our experts are on hand to help all official letters and new government directives be understood and implemented without too much trouble. Our mission is to provide comprehensive and integrated environmental solutions for new technologies and beyond. We do not take the easy way out - our choices when it comes to the world of e-commerce are backed up by a lot of research. We take into account both marketing, economics, ecology and logistics.

Sustainability: environmental protection and business

Sustainability is already an indispensable part of modern business. Today, small, large and medium-sized companies are faced with the challenge of reconciling environmental protection with the rapidly changing needs of the consumer market. At Interzero, we understand that caring for the ecosphere is no longer just a legal obligation - it puts the reputation of the entire brand, the bonds between employees and the profitability of the business at stake. Implementing innovative green solutions not only minimises the negative impact on the environment, but also increases operational efficiency and reduces costs. Recycling, outsourcing, waste management and much more - it's all happening in the digital world!

We will certainly be reaping the benefits that will be available to us through membership of the e-Island. We are looking forward to the latest industry news, the exchange of knowledge with other establishments and the challenges we will face in the years to come! Networking has never been the power it is today - together we will create reliable e-commerce that responds to social and business needs.

Interzero classroom training - a lot of factual and practical knowledge in a nutshell!

What does an Environmental Inspectorate Inspection entail and how to prepare for it?

Interzero's first in-house training course entitled. "Control of environmental inspections in a company" is behind us! The participants of the training met with our expert Łukasz Pachucki on 8 August at the Interzero branch in Łódź. In a small group of people, they assimilated a wide range of topics related to WIOŚ control in a company. The open form of the training and the Q&A session allowed them to learn in depth about the specifics of such a visit, in terms of the operation of their companies.

What impressions did the Interzero residential training leave?

"I am extremely pleased that we managed to organise the first stationary training using the potential of our office in Łódź. We were able to raise the competence of entrepreneurs in terms of measuring themselves against WIOŚ inspections, which is not an easy task. Participants had the opportunity to learn live and in a very small group, in detail, what such an inspection looks like and what to pay particular attention to. Plus a Q&A session after the meeting and the opportunity to email questions to the presenter gave participants a huge dose of knowledge. An amazing role in the success of the training was played by Łukasz Pachucki, who, as befits a first-class expert with many years of experience, conducted the meeting in a perfectly practical and accessible manner." - she said Anita Janiec, Manager of the Environmental Advisory Team at Interzero.

"The training was valuable and interesting. The whole thing was planned at the right pace - not too long but enough to cover all the relevant issues thoroughly. Practical examples were valuable in helping to better understand the issues discussed. This made the training not only interesting but also helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge in this area.", said trainee Wiktor G, Project Manager at Decathlon.

"Yesterday, I had the pleasure of conducting the previously announced training course 'Control of environmental inspections in a company'. I am pleased that, despite the date falling during the holiday period, it was possible to gather a group of listeners who were interested in the topic, for which I thank you very much. For those of you who would have liked to have attended our training, but for various reasons were unable to do so, I would like to inform you that it is not excluded that there will be an opportunity to participate in a similar event in the future.." - said the trainer Lukasz Pachucki.

More training courses on similar themes coming soon! Save the date!

There will be an online training on the topic of WIOŚ inspections in the company in October, 24.10! More details will soon be available on the website and our Linkedin profile.

However, if you prefer classroom training, nothing lost! We will soon be announcing the next date for the training course "Control of environmental inspections in a company" in Łódź! If you would like to train your employees in other environmental topics, please write to us at: academy@interzero.pl.

Closed-loop solutions are climate solutions - Interzero moves Green Debt Day forward again together with customers

Closed-loop solutions are climate solutions - Interzero moves Green Debt Day forward again together with customers

This year, by 1 August, humanity will have used as much from nature as the planet can renew in a whole year, according to Global Footprint Network (GFN) calculations for 2024. However, without Interzero's recycling and innovative circular activities, this day would have been reached even earlier.

Together with our customers and a broad portfolio of closed-loop solutions, Interzero has again succeeded in delaying the global Environmental Debt Day by more than seven minutes. Once again, this provides concrete evidence of the positive impact of our company's service portfolio on the planet.

"We want to work with our customers to make a real impact". - says Interzero CEO and owner Dr Axel Schweitzer. "Focusing on our vision of a world without waste - where available resources are used sustainably and responsibly - we are constantly looking for new ways to push Environmental Debt Day further and further away. Our efforts are yielding tangible successes."

Zmniejszenie wpływu na środowisko kwalifikacji do Mistrzostw Świata w unihokeju mężczyzn (WFCQ)

Measuring the carbon footprint during the World Cup dodgeball qualification with ESD from Interzero

Zmniejszenie wpływu na środowisko kwalifikacji do Mistrzostw Świata w unihokeju mężczyzn (WFCQ)

Introduction: In recent years, the global discussion on sustainability has intensified, prompting organisations around the world to assess their environmental impact. At the forefront of this movement, our team undertook a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impact of the Men's World Floorball Championship Qualifier (WFCQ). Using Environmental Sustainability Dashboard (ESD) developed by Interzero, we set out to assess and reduce the carbon footprint of this major sporting event.

Context: The qualification for the World Floorball Championships (WFCQ) took place in Škofja Loka, Slovenia, from 31 January to 4 February 2024. Five teams from Slovenia, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and Denmark took part, as well as representatives from the International Floorball Federation (IFF). A total of 216 people took part in the tournament, including players and staff, 2,453 visitors, 33 volunteers and local labour.

Challenge: Carbon footprint of the WFCQ venue

The challenge was clear: how could we ensure that the men's WFCQ, while an exciting show of athleticism and sporting competition, was also consistent with our commitment to sustainability? Given the many dimensions, including venue operations, transport logistics, communication activities, exhibition preparation, accommodation and catering services, the task was daunting. However, armed with a dedicated team and our Environmental Sustainability Dashboard, we rose to the challenge.

The WFCQ was held throughout the event at the Poden Arena, located in Škofja Loka (Slovenia).

men's world floorball championships 2024 qualification - logo

The following impact categories were considered to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the facility:

  1. Stationary fuel combustion.
  2. Overall electricity consumption.
  3. Network heat/cold consumption.
  4. Water consumption.
  5. Waste disposal.

Solution: Our methodology was rooted in the principles of life cycle assessment (LCA), ensuring that every aspect of the event was meticulously examined for its environmental impact. From quantifying greenhouse gas emissions to assessing waste generation and transport. Using the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard platform, we were able to collect and analyse data from a variety of sources, in line with internationally recognised standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

Results: The results of our analysis were both informative and useful. With a total carbon footprint of 108.1 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, we gained valuable insight into the areas where our efforts can make the most difference. Transport emerged as the most influential dimension, accounting for 52% of the event's carbon footprint, mainly due to air travel. This was followed by accommodation and catering, each of which contributed significantly to overall emissions.

However, armed with this knowledge, we did not stop at mere assessment. Instead, we proposed targeted strategies to reduce environmental impact. From promoting sustainable travel options for participants to optimising the facility's energy consumption and minimising waste generation, each mitigation measure was driven by our commitment to sustainability.

At the end of the men's WFCQ, we not only achieved our goal of quantifying the event's environmental impact, but also demonstrated our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Through collaborative efforts and innovative solutions, we transformed the sporting event into a beacon of environmental responsibility, setting a new standard for future championships around the world.

In conclusion, the success of our sustainability initiative for the men's WFCQ is a testament to the power of data-driven decision-making and collective action. Looking to the future, we remain committed to continuing our sustainability efforts, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the thrill of sport without compromising the health of our planet.

What is the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard?

logo ESD

Environmental Sustainability Dashboard (ESD) is Interzero's solution to help clients integrate sustainability into their business strategy. ESD consists of several steps, from context analysis to the creation of a Sustainability Action Plan. Among these steps, a key element is the ESD tool, an online platform designed to help companies calculate the various environmental, social and managerial impacts associated with their core business and/or products.

The impact assessment takes into account various dimensions such as emissions, energy, materials, water and waste. A wide range of key performance indicators (KPIs) can be calculated, such as greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprint. For each dimension, specific data are required to calculate the corresponding set of results. Both input and output data are selected and generated based on commonly used standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative, and literature.

The output can be used not only for communication purposes, but also for technical evaluation and can be integrated by the company into its sustainability report. ESD is suitable for companies of all sizes, whether they offer services or products.
