Since 2018, our annual Zero Waste Festival has brought together thousands of change-makers to be educated and inspired to reduce their waste and create positive behaviours.

We are back at Fed Square on Saturday, 6 September for Zero Waste Festival 2025 for an inspiring day of ideas, action, and practical solutions. From changemakers challenging the status quo to everyday legends making a difference, we’re bringing people together to tackle waste and build a better future. Expect thought-provoking panels, hands-on activities, and real opportunities to learn, share, and take action.
Want to be involved?
Expressions of interest are now open for speakers and exhibitors—if you’ve got a project, idea, product, or initiative that supports a low-waste world, we’d love to hear from you. We’re also welcoming volunteers who’d like to be part of the team on the day. If you’re a business or organisation aligned with our values, get in touch about sponsorship opportunities. Stay tuned—we’ll be announcing more soon
We have proudly hosted and organised the Zero Waste Festival since 2018 online and in-person. Each year, the Zero Waste Festival continues to grow and in 2024 we welcomed more than 4,000 attendees at Fed Square in Melbourne.
The Zero Waste Festival 2025 is organised by Zero Waste Victoria in collaboration with event partners City of Melbourne and Fed Square. We are grateful for the support of our sponsors.
