Le Projet Zéro Déchet

What Le Projet Zéro Déchet does

Le Projet Zéro Déchet is a Montreal-based zero-waste consulting and training services firm founded by Anjelika Jangazina, operating in both French and English from a coworking desk within the MT Lab incubator at UQAM. The company serves enterprises, festivals, NGOs, municipalities, hotels, and individuals with a portfolio of six integrated service lines: corporate accompaniment (diagnostic, action plans, team training), guided support for ICI on Recycle+ (Recyc-Québec) and Biosphere certifications, the Brigade Verte on-site waste-sorting team for events, turnkey zero-waste event management for up to 1,000 attendees, educational conferences, and DIY workshops (zero-waste cooking, homemade beauty and cleaning products, eco team building, lunch-and-learn). It also runs a parallel food-rescue mission anchored by a partnership with Rachelle Béry that has redirected roughly 35 tonnes of surplus food since 2018.

The company has no proprietary software platform; its core 'technology' is the field-based Brigade Verte service model, in which trained staff accompany event attendees in real-time to sort waste, reduce contamination, and weigh outputs for post-event diagnostics. The team is certified by the Conseil québécois des événements écoresponsables (CQEER), and the founder's background spans eco-tourism in Indonesia and e-commerce in Japan.

Le Projet Zéro Déchet generates revenue through project-based professional services fees with personalized quoting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; preferential rates are offered to startups and OBNL (non-profits). Go-to-market combines a sales-led consulting motion (free initial consultation, field deployment), an event-driven demand channel leveraging Brigade Verte visibility, and warm referrals from MT Lab, GUTA, RQFE, and CJE NDG. The company has delivered 100+ zero-waste events between 2019 and 2025, sensitized 6,000+ people, and avoided an estimated 10,000 single-use glasses annually through reusable programs. Operations are bootstrapped, founder-led, and private, with no external funding, headcount of 1-10, and concentration in the Quebec market.
