How was February at Interzero? Read the monthly summary

The past month was full of important events and initiatives at Interzero. As part of the educational campaign Eko bez kantów, we published the third part of the report “In the traps of single-use”, which analyzed the approach of Poles to reusable packaging. We also actively participated in the Sustainable Industry Lab 2025, where the presentation of the Waste Platform 2.0, which makes it easier for entrepreneurs to fulfill their environmental obligations, aroused particular interest.

In February, the pilot edition of our flagship educational program EkoPaka ended. 100 classes from Warsaw and the surrounding area received boxes filled with materials supporting teachers in conducting interesting and engaging classes on paper. Students learned how paper is produced, how often it accompanies us in everyday life, how important its proper segregation is and whether it is possible to recycle it. At the same time, they practiced their manual skills and creativity. During classes, they built a cardboard forest, conducted an investigation in their school on the use of paper, created posters, collages and many other beautiful works. Also this month, we finished recruitment for the second edition of EkoPaka on bio-waste. This time, as many as 200 packages will be sent to schools. We encourage you to follow our website and social media profiles.

The past month has brought important conclusions regarding the future of reusable packaging. Our new report examines how Poles perceive alternatives to single-use plastic, which, according to the SUP directive, must have a reusable option since July last year. This is the third installment of the series “In the traps of single-use plastics”, in which Interzero analyzes the consequences of the SUP (Single-Use Plastics) directive for everyday consumer decisions. This time, the experts focused on takeaway habits and checked what features the ideal reusable packaging should have according to Poles. The full report is available for download on the Eko Bez Kantów website .

Our experts shared their knowledge on technological solutions supporting sustainable development and how to effectively manage waste. The speakers included: Paweł Lesiak, Vice President of the Management Board, Łukasz Czarnowski, Digital Sales Cross Country Function Head and Robert Kowal, Business Development Manager. The discussions concerned, among others: digital challenges in waste management, the role of IT tools in ESG reporting, the importance of reliable data in ESG strategy – how their analysis helps to reduce emissions and build transparency of companies’ activities, growing consumer awareness – why education and an innovative approach to sustainable development are so important for the future of business.
