This often causes significant negative impacts on the environment and surrounding natural resources. One step to overcome this problem is through the Zero Waste Business Model. This research aims to see how regenerative business models can be implemented through innovation and collaboration. This research will be carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data used in this research comes from the results of relevant previous studies and research. The results of this research highlight the importance of cross-sector collaboration in achieving zero waste and regenerative business goals, as well as the role of innovation in supporting change towards sustainable business. In addition, this research also identifies the obstacles faced in adopting sustainable business models, including policy and regulatory constraints as well as internal challenges within the organization.

INTRODUCTION Traditional business models often cause negative impacts on the environment and the sustainability of natural resources. Practices such as waste, excessive use of resources, and inefficient waste management have become global challenges that require serious attention. Amid increasing awareness of environmental issues, business concepts have emerged that promote zero waste and regenerative principles. Zero waste business models focus on reducing waste, and maximally reusing and recycling resources, while regenerative business models aim to restore the environment and create positive value for society (Khalil & Nimmanunta, 2023). A zero-waste approach not only has a positive impact on the environment but can also generate significant economic benefits. More and more companies understand the potential benefits that can be gained through reduced waste and more efficient use of resources. However, to achieve the goal of zero waste and regenerative business, innovation and collaboration are key (Kurniawan et al., 2021). Innovation is an important element in creating a more sustainable business model. Innovations can include the development of more environmentally friendly products, more efficient production processes, or even completely new business
