Resource-smart business: waste seminar for companies in Pärnu

Less waste, more value. How much money does your company throw away along with its waste? This is not a lecture but a practical seminar in which you work through your company's waste generation and resource use and look for places where you can make smarter choices. At the seminar you will learn how to spot where material and money are lost with waste; how to prevent and reduce waste; how to organise sorted collection more simply and effectively; what different sustainability labels and frameworks mean for a company; and what happens to waste after it is handed to a waste operator.

As part of the seminar we hear an experience story from an organisation with a zero waste certificate and visit Paikre, to see the journey of waste in practice. Programme: 9:30 gathering and morning coffee; 10:00 seminar; 11:15 break; 11:30 seminar; 13:00 lunch (at your own expense); 13:45 seminar; 15:00 trip to the Paikre waste management centre (Raba 39); 17:00 end (car park of Hestia Hotel Strand). Trainers: Zero Waste Estonia experts Kristiina Kerge and Marianne Sepp. Registration until 08.11.2026. Venue: Hestia Hotel Strand, Pirita hall, A. H. Tammsaare puiestee 35, Pärnu.
