Waste-reduction projects, community partnerships and local innovation come together in a program focused on Miami-Dade’s transition toward a circular economy. The celebration takes place Saturday, August 15 at The Wetlab at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science on Virginia Key. Hosted by Zero Waste Miami and Debris Free Oceans, the gathering brings together residents, businesses, nonprofits, educators and government representatives working to reduce waste across the county. 

The evening includes a Zero Waste Village showcasing local organizations and initiatives, opening remarks by Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and a State of the Circular Economy address. Organizers will also unveil the Zero Waste Miami Coalition Strategy and present a Pitch Night featuring projects developed by coalition members. The Zero Waste Awards will recognize contributions by community advocates, businesses and public-sector leaders.
