Berlin on the way to the Zero-Waststadt: strategies for the future!

Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin on the way to the Zero-Waststadt! At an exciting city forum, led by Senator Christian Gaebler, innovative strategies for a sustainable circular economy were presented. The event that took place in partnership with the Berlin city cleaning (BSR) and the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment gathered numerous experts from science and business to discuss the future of the city.

A central topic was the transformation of waste management. Professor Dr. Vera Susanne Rotter from the TU Berlin presented her re-strategies and emphasized the need to separate waste at the source. The construction industry, as the largest causer of waste, must also be brought into focus. Stephanie Otto, CEO of the BSR, made it clear that the adjustments to the challenges of climate change, urbanization and digitization are not only necessary, but also urgent. "The transformation is already in full swing," says Otto.

Berlin relies on circular economy

Senator Ute Bonde underlined the clear course of the capital: Berlin is said to be a zero-wastest city! Waste must be avoided and recycling further expanded. "A modern circular economy is ecologically necessary and economically sensible," she said. The discussion was about the interactions between urban development, integrated planning and public space. The question remains: How will the Berlin Senate actually advance this ambitious goal in the middle of the current budget discussions?

The event marks a decisive step towards a more sustainable future for Berlin. With the support of politics and experts, the vision of a zero-satellite city becomes more tangible. The time for changes is now!
