We are proud to announce that during the 11th edition of PIFcamp, we earned the title of Event on the path to zero waste with two stars!
The idea of obtaining this title happened very naturally for us, as we have been striving to reduce waste, recycle consistently, and promote reuse—both of materials and the food we cook—practically since the very beginning of PIFcamp. Above all, we are delighted that we have managed to transfer some of our internal waste-management rigor to our participants; we couldn’t have done it without you! We would also like to thank the Ekologi brez meja team, which awards the title, for all their guidance and support.
“A total of 188 kg of waste was generated at PIFcamp 2025 (368 g per participant per day), of which 177 kg was collected separately. The proportion of separately collected waste is thus 94.1%, which fulfills one of the conditions for obtaining the first star of the Zero Waste Event title.
To obtain the second star, it is necessary to achieve a 30% reduction in the total amount of waste compared to the baseline and to use reusable cups. Compared to the data from 2023, when 576 g of waste per person per day was generated, a 36% reduction was successfully achieved. Washable glasses and cups were used at the event, and participants were asked to bring their own water bottles. The criteria for the second star have thus been met.
