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
