Zero Waste Montenegro was established in 2016 with the objective to dedicate itself to one of the largest environmental issues in Montenegro: waste mismanagement. With the support of passionate volunteers, the organization initiated the first coalition of NGOs working together to raise awareness on littering and single-use plastic pollution in Montenegro: Cleanupmontenegro.me. Zero Waste Montenegro has grown since and its team of full and part-time employees, volunteers and freelancers, led by a multi-disciplinary Steering Committee, are now working on impactful projects with municipalities, citizen groups, (inter)national organizations, ministries and businesses on their ZW journey.​
