About
my name is stefanie, i am the founder and ceo of wegozero - a zero waste consultancy based in Amsterdam.
Let me tell you a bit about myself, my story and how I started a zero waste consultancy in Amsterdam.
When I was a kid being sustainable and being one with nature was normal to me. I was lucky to grow up in a heavenly environment – between the alps and crystal clear lakes in Salzburg, Austria. Little did I know that the “real” world looked different.
When I finished school I left Salzburg and started my studies in real estate management in Vienna.
Back then, I earned good money with working in commercial real estate. At the same time, I realised this wouldn’t make me happy and I needed to find something that would fulfil me.
Therfor, I began to evolve into being more sustainable.

From organic architecture to
a zero waste apartment
During my studies I specialised in organic architecture and repurposing of unused property. After implementing a change management model for a NPO I left my job as a project manager in 2016, sold my car, let go of my apartment and travelled to Asia for three months. This paved the way for a major personal transformation.
Instead of taking a loan and starting my business as a property developer in Salzburg, I decided to continue travelling.
A sleepless night and a twenty-five Euro flight brought me to Athens where I got inspired. I combined what I knew – real estate – with what I love the most – nature. And this is how world’s first zero waste apartment for short term rent was created.
My ideas developed further and that is how #wegozero started.
Today, I am a zero-waste consultant based in Amsterdam, living and endorsing a zero-waste lifestyle. Therefore, I want to leverage future-orientated solutions for everyone while automating new habits, increasing value and helping people getting closer to a zero-waste lifestyle.
Let´s build a bright future ahead – together.
