Creating a Zero Waste World — Circular Economy Solutions for People and Businesses.

In Brazil, less than 4% of solid waste is recycled, and organic waste (50% of the total) is rarely processed properly.

Our target audience (individuals) faces several challenges: they want to compost at home but often lack the space or time to do so. They also want assurance that their recyclable waste is indeed being recycled.

For our corporate clients (restaurants, offices, factories, schools, and stores), we offer a punctual, responsible, and cost-effective service for managing organic and recyclable waste.

On the other hand, event organizers don’t want to deal with cleaning staff hired exclusively for the event, with the risk of no-shows. Moreover, they aim to provide an eco-friendly destination for event waste, both for marketing and brand positioning purposes and to comply with regulations.

Urban gardens and waste pickers' cooperatives struggle with economic sustainability.

Urban gardens struggle to market the vegetables they produce.

We offer three types of services:

1. Selective collection of recyclable and organic waste for individuals living in houses or apartments. These customers aim to adopt sustainable practices, such as composting, but often face time and space constraints. For this reason, they subscribe to a monthly waste collection service.
2. Selective collection of recyclable and organic waste for businesses, covering a wide range of establishments such as restaurants, cafés, bakeries, offices, factories, schools, stores, among others.

3. Waste management and cleaning for events of various sizes. By paying for every kilogram of organic waste the urban gardens receive for composting, we increase their income while reducing their fertilizer costs. We sell the compost produced by our urban garden partners to our clients, creating a new revenue stream for them. Soon, we will also sell the vegetables grown by our urban garden partners, helping them market their products more effectively.
By donating recyclable packaging to waste pickers cooperatives, we help them boost their earnings.
Our clients are passionate about the positive change we create in their lives and the excellent experience we provide with our operations.

Our network of committed local vegans across the country is growing! The Vegan Society organises various outreach activities to influence change in every level of society. There are a range of activities going on all the time, from general educational stalls at events to meeting with local policy influencers.

What does the Advocate role involve?

Being an Advocate for veganism with The Vegan Society will mean communicating with people in your local community. You'll share the benefits of a vegan lifestyle. You will form part of a local group, headed up by a local Organiser. The Organiser will feed back your collective efforts to staff. You will also be invited to our private Facebook group, for vegan socialising and ideas sharing.

You’ll stay in touch with the Organiser and bring your passion to tasks. Activities can range from staffing a stall to giving a talk at an employee event. It could also mean writing to a local newspaper or lobbying an MP.

Messaging can differ every month. Part of our mission statement is to ensure people can remain vegan, so you might focus on getting more vegan options available in local businesses. Or within our Live Vegan for Less campaign, you may share cheap vegan recipes to help people with the cost of living.

When acting as an Advocate, you will use The Vegan Society’s branding and messaging guidelines. Your local Organiser will guide you in doing this, as they hold physical resources and handbooks. You can report any issues and feedback you have to your Organiser. You can also contact staff if your Organiser isn't available or you have any problems.

What training and support is available?

You will be provided with a big welcome and full induction from your local Organiser. They will introduce you to the group and any actions that are ongoing. Any training and development will be provided via your Organiser, and you can also ask for specific training on any areas that you need some development in.

What skills would be useful in doing this role?

• The ability to stay motivated in order to achieve the best possible outcomes
• Good email etiquette, responding in a timely manner
• Committed to veganism and the mission of The Vegan Society
• Ability to stay calm if confronted with differing opinions or challenges
• A good communicator, with the ability to be persuasive
• Confident in communicating with people from a range of backgrounds
• Experience of campaigning
• Any experience in talking with members of the public through customer/public service would be helpful
• Awareness of current affairs, especially those that relate to veganism
• Regular availability and a willingness to stay committed to actions
• Good team player

How much time do I need to invest?

For Advocates, we ask for people to engage in a minimum of four to six actions per year. An example of an action could be writing to an MP or holding a stall. But the more you can do, the better! On occasion, there may also be online meetings to plan for actions or provide training.

Who can I contact to find out more?

Enquiries are welcome! Please contact Katy Malkin (Volunteering Coordinator).

How do I apply?

Interested? Simply fill in our Community Advocate application form. This should take a few minutes.

This role is advertised as part of TPP's Free Giving Back Services. This volunteer advertisement copy has been supplied to TPP and applicants apply direct to the organisation. Please contact the organisation directly if you have any questions about this volunteer role.
