In the start-up scene, unicorns stand for start-ups with a market value of over USD 1 billion. In the impact world, however, success is not only measured in terms of profit. Profit and impact go hand in hand - black and white, just like a zebra. A zebra therefore stands for a startup that generates profits AND creates impact for society.

Zero waste is about rethinking and rethinking habits that have crept in over the last few decades, both in the private sphere and in companies. Since the post-war period, society has developed into a consumer and throwaway society. Current lifestyles and consumer behavior, as well as industry and business, demand more resources than our planet can provide. This puts a strain on the climate and the environment and this is precisely where the Zero Waste movement comes in, looking for solutions and showing how resource-conserving behavior can succeed.
