What Zöldövezet Társulás Egyesület does

Zöldövezet Társulás Egyesület is a Hungarian nonprofit association (egyesület) headquartered in Nadap, Fejér megye, focused on environmental sustainability. Its operational core is the Ökotipegő program, launched in 2016, which offers a reusable cloth diaper rental service through a webshop and a companion mobile app available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, supported by Magyar Posta, FoxPost, and Barion payment infrastructure. The organization serves families, schools, and corporate clients in Hungary with a portfolio of programs including event greening (Rendezvényzöldítés), corporate sustainability programs (Vállalati programok), sustainable menstruation advocacy, and environmental education (Környezeti nevelés).

The association operates as a small, mission-driven organization with 7 employees and co-presidents Lászlóné Csobay Krisztina and Sidóné Koller Andrea. Revenue/operating budget is not disclosed; the model blends small e-commerce revenue from diaper rentals, donations, grants (including Visegrád Fund and Erasmus+), and corporate program fees. International affiliations include the Nappy Task Force (since 2020) and the Erasmus+ MENSY project, positioning the association within a broader European network of reusable diaper and menstrual sustainability initiatives while keeping physical operations confined to Hungary.
