Denver Zoo is Committed to Achieve
Zero Waste by 2025

That means keeping 90% of our waste out of landfills through composting, recycling and repurposing of materials here on Denver Zoo Campus. Partnering with Swire Coca-Cola, USATM to help turn plastic bottles into fabric used to make Denver Zoo uniforms and reusable bags is only one small step in our zero waste journey. Our reduce, reuse, recycle mindset has us working toward a future of less. Less single use disposable items, less materials used, less pollution, less waste.
