Wrapping up the day is an evening open-to-the-public expert and political panel with all the Wellington locals who are working alongside us for a better world, more info here.
This day is designed to widen our lens and learn more of what our mahi contributes to on a national and global scale. We hope you leave feeling inspired and hopeful.
Day 2 - Network Day
Our Piece in the Puzzle
Join us on Day 2 for closer connection to our Zero Waste Network mahi. We’ll hear some inspiring stories from members, there’ll be time to concentrate on specific waste streams (think e-products, C&D, textiles, organics), time to collaborate in separate work streams, and an opportunity to Q&A the Zero Waste Network team and hear updates on our current projects.
This day is perfect for diving deep into our mahi alongside others, inspired from day 1.
Let’s ideate, collaborate and come away feeling connected, supported and encouraged.

Communal Dinner
Top the night off with our special network evening where we can take time to celebrate, share stories, take selfies and enjoy a relaxed evening together. We are taking over The Hunter Lounge for a three-course buffet dinner on the Zero Waste Network (love #everybite), and there'll be a cash bar with lots of local, low-waste drinks.
