textile recycling company, <a href="https://www.kleiderly.com/" target="_blank">Kleiderly</a> and Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2020; Sophia Hoffmann, zero-waste chef and activist; David Johannes, co-founder of the first zero-waste restaurant in Germany; and Alexander Piutti, serial entrepreneur and angel investor committed to social impact.”</p> <p>The ZWB Festival was founded by a Spanish project manager living in Berlin, Coral Ruz.</p> <p>When she realised that no international zero waste groups were holding regular events in Berlin, she decided to create a Meetup group called Zero Waste Berlin International in May 2019.</p> <p>The ZWB Festival grew from there as a result of this constantly growing movement.</p> <p>Since then, the start-up has held ten events and reached more than 40,000 people.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="classy-style--margin-bottom paragraph paragraph--type--bp-simple paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--2092
