The National Zero Waste Conference is the annual two-day virtual educational and networking event organized by Zero Waste USA. This conference is a must-attend for anyone passionate about zero waste solutions, sustainability, environmental impact, and community engagement.
Reducing waste presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for the hotel & lodging sector.
