The International Day for a World Without Waste is celebrated on March 30. The International Day for a World Without Waste aims to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns and raise awareness of how waste-free production initiatives contribute to advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

According to estimates, humanity annually produces 2.24 billion tons of solid household waste, of which only 55 percent are disposed of at controlled enterprises. By 2050, this figure could rise to 3.88 billion tons per year. The waste sector contributes significantly to urban greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss. About 931 million tons of food are lost or discarded annually, and it is expected that by 2040 up to 37 million tons of plastic waste will enter the world's oceans annually.

On December 14, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly officially recognized the importance of combating waste and proclaimed March 30 the International Day for a World Without Waste, which will be celebrated annually starting in 2023.
