Ecological Debt Day – we are moving this date further and further!

Let’s #MoveTheDate!

Research by the Global Footprint Network shows that we have an influence on Ecological Debt Day – without our recycling activities, this day around the world would have passed 7 minutes and 16 seconds earlier .

Ecological Debt Day, also known as “Overshoot Day” , is a symbolic date during the year when humanity has already used up more natural resources than the Earth can renew in the entire year. This means that from this moment until the end of the year we operate on ecological “credit”, using more resources than our ecosystem can regenerate. This is a disturbing indicator of overexploitation and the pressure we are putting on the planet.

Together with our clients and partners, we have a real impact on global Earth Debt Day.

Why is it like that? Recycling and reusing recyclable materials not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to the virgin process, but also protects the biocapacity of our planet. Instead of overexploitation, we have resource conservation and recycling.

Take a walk around Warsaw’s Łazienki Park and take part in family workshops in the spirit of #zerowaste!

Join a world where everything circulates, nothing is wasted, and nature around has a chance to be reborn!

Thanks to our cooperation with UNEP/GRID-Warszawa and the Royal Łazienki Museum , tourists and residents of the Aleje Ujazdowskie area can see collages related to zero waste for the next month! Repair, take care of, segregate, buy responsibly, change and create with ideas – these are just a few slogans that you can follow if you want to live in harmony with nature. Remember that you can give a second life to old objects and clothes. You can limit buying unnecessary things and segregate waste. And soon you will be able to share good practices with your children at the next ecological workshops!

At the end of September, we organize workshops at the museum for parents and children aged 6 to 12. During the classes, participants will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic of the circular economy and broadly understood environmental protection. Through puzzles and creative tasks, the youngest will be able to explore the secrets of ecological behavior that they can implement in their home.

We will inform you about registration for the workshops on our social media channels.

Interzero is the official partner of BERGMANN Polska, the distributor of #Bergmann waste management equipment!

Manufacturing plants face a major challenge related to effective waste management. Collecting them incorrectly can lead to serious consequences for the environment and the company’s reputation. Improper segregation and the lack of clear guidelines can lead to the mixing of different types of waste, making their effective disposal or recycling difficult.

It is crucial that we focus on solving this problem to create a more sustainable future. One way to optimize waste management in a company is to use dedicated devices.

Interzero has become an official partner of BERGMANN Polska – a distributor of #Bergmann waste management equipment. The offered devices can be found on our Ecodevices website. The machines compress and thicken waste, which optimizes transport costs. Our offer includes:

– Press containers for dry waste,

– Press containers for wet waste,

– Roll-packers,

– Rotocompactors.

To read the exact specifications of the devices, go HERE .

We are looking forward to cooperation with our partner and hope that Polish customers will appreciate devices that can facilitate waste management in their production plants.

Interzero for the Royal Łazienki Park in Warsaw

Although urban areas constitute less than 3% of the Earth’s surface, they are inhabited by over half of the planet’s population. Despite the dominance of concrete, crowds and street traffic, cities and towns are still considered ecosystems whose condition significantly affects the quality of our lives. If properly cared for, they help purify the air and water and provide opportunities for fun and relaxation.

From 2022 Interzero, as part of the Re:Generacja – together for ecosystems project, takes care of the ecosystem of the Royal Łazienki Park in Warsaw. Thanks to our cooperation with UNEP/GRID Warsaw, we managed to strengthen the shorelines of the Lower South and North Ponds and carry out work with historic trees. Additionally, we have placed bird feeders in the park to feed them in winter. This year, it is planned to plant trees and shrubs in the garden and to restore the plantings on the slopes around Staw Południowy Górny, along with protecting the greenery against possible damage.

On June 29, we met with UNEP/GRID Warsaw, the Royal Łazienki Museum and Re:Generacja – together for ecosystems. During this visit, we had the opportunity to discuss the needs of the Łazienki Królewskie ecosystem, especially with a view to the future, and to summarize current activities and cooperation.

We hope that we will be able to do even more together!

Interzero at SOSEXPO – June 29, 2023, Warsaw

On June 29, 2023 , SOSEXPO – the 11th International Waste Management Forum – was held at the Novotel hotel in Warsaw. Paweł Lesiak , Vice-President of the Management Board of Interzero, and Edyta Mantorska , Head of the Ecological Education Team, spoke on behalf of Interzero. The event was attended by politicians, representatives of local governments and leading experts in the waste management industry. The event program included discussion panels, expert speeches and presentations on legislation and economic trends, investments and circular economy.

Paweł Lesiak took part in the discussion panel “On the way to circular economy – municipalities in the face of growing EU requirements. What changes need to be implemented today and what changes are yet to come?. The issues raised during the debate included:

• How to improve waste management at the local government level to avoid penalties for failing to achieve recycling levels? What should you invest in and what changes should you introduce?
• What changes and regulations at the central level do we need to improve separate collection and recycling?
• What can municipalities do to prevent waste and promote reuse? What tools are needed to reduce the waste of raw materials?

Edyta Mantorska, presenting a summary of the Interzero report from April 2023 “We are getting into trouble” , discussed Poles’ awareness of waste sorting.

Thank you very much for the invitation – we will see you next year!

Summary of Interzero’s participation in the 11th Hausmesse Kronospan Fair in Szczecinek

May 25 this year Interzero had the pleasure of taking part in the 11th edition of the Hausmesse Fair, organized by Kronospan . It is the largest in the province. West Pomeranian furniture industry fair, addressed to entities producing and transporting wood-based boards.

Interzero was represented by Paweł Lesiak , Vice-President of the Management Board, who took part in the discussion panel “Ecological Logistics” of SILVA about the importance of ecological supplies of raw materials and methods of its implementation. SILVA companies collect and process wood waste for wood-based board plants used in the furniture industry. The issue of ecological supplies is also an important topic for our company, because as Interzero, we care not only about the raw material itself, but also about the logistic aspects of its acquisition. Properly planned and optimized transport systems can minimize negative impacts on the environment. The use of multimodal transport, which combines various means of transport (road, rail, sea), allows to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce road congestion.

We would like to thank SILVA for the invitation to participate in the discussion on sustainable transport of raw materials and Kronospan for the opportunity to participate in the inspiring event.

See you in a year!
