How can schools become drivers of waste reduction and environmental stewardship? This guide provides a practical roadmap for schools to implement Zero Waste School (ZWS) programmes through structured waste management, environmental education, behaviour change, and community engagement. Developed by WWF Indonesia and Guru Belajar Foundation, the guide helps schools move from awareness and commitment to becoming self-sustaining models of zero waste practices and circular economy learning.
This practical guide introduces the Zero Waste School (ZWS) approach, helping schools establish sustainable waste management systems through waste segregation, plastic reduction, environmental education, monitoring, and community participation. The publication outlines implementation stages, sample policies, monitoring frameworks, stakeholder roles, and practical solutions that schools can adopt regardless of available resources. Designed for school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and education practitioners, the guide supports schools in building a long-term culture of responsible waste management and environmental stewardship.
