The show will be broadcast this Sunday, 12 March 2017 at 22.05 CEST on SRF1. See the full program description here, and tune in on Sunday.

06 January 2017 – Trash Hero @Work Program

Our recent launch of the Trash Hero @Work program has just been written about in a Swiss newspaper from Lucerne. Read it here.

Trash Hero World’s @Work program creates a solid basis for reducing corporate and business waste to a minimum. In a first step, all office waste on an average day is analysed in detail. One by one, steps are then taken to reduce waste to a minimum. Employees might all commit to using our stainless steel bottles, or use their own containers to pick up their lunches. Slowly but surely, employees can move towards implementing a zero waste philosophy and can see how small changes make a big difference.

03 January 2016 – Trash Hero Thailand

Trash Hero Thailand has made it onto the news again, with a wonderful contribution aired on Thairath TV. See it here! Thairath TV covered Trash Hero Bangkok  (and a lot of our dedicated Trash Heroes from that chapter) and Trash Hero Thailand, and is a wonderful reference for the work Trash Heroes are doing in Thailand.

Fun fact: Thairath has 1 million followers on youtube, and 7 million likes on Facebook. So how better to reach a lot of people than this?

Launch of Trash Hero @Work Program

17 December 2016 – Trash Hero Word & GKS Architekten + Partner AG

We have just launched the @Work program in cooperation with the architectural office GKS Architekten + Partner AG from Lucerne, Switzerland . The aim of the program is to reduce office waste to a minimum, and our project creates a solid basis for this. The 50 employees of the awesome architectural office GKS Architekten + Partner rang in a new era by committing themselves to the zero-waste philosophy, and will be doing everything they can to reduce their internal waste.

In a first step, team members examined the trash they as a company were producing daily. They estimated that they were using 2,600 disposable plastic dishes, 3,200 glas bottles, and around one ton of paper per year. Since this company takes corporate social responsibility seriously, they are all wenn under way to going zero waste: they will be avoiding trash wherever possible, strictly separating, and will try to use recyclable materials. To eliminate drinking bottles every GKS employee received a personalised Trash Hero bottle made of stainless steel as a Christmas present.

We are grateful for this amazing collaboration with GKS! Other corporations have already voiced interest as well, and we hope to inspire many more businesses to implement sustainable changes in the future! Read the full press release here.
