Zero-Waste Restaurants

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

Located in a creative hub in the Hackney Wick neighborhood of London, the Silo restaurant is embracing the concept of zero-waste both in its menu and choice of furniture.

The stylish space was designed by studio Nina+Co who utilized a plethora of sustainable, reusable, and biodegradable materials to craft the interior—from the "fluted bar counter crafted from recycled plastic packaging" to the design-forward mycelium pendant lamps, tables, and seating poufs.

The zero-waste concept is also reflected in Silo restaurant's menu thanks to chef Douglas McMaster who aims to "close the loop on food production processes." As a result, the dishes at Silo restaurant incorporate "wonky" fruits and veggies, a "nose-to-tail approach" for meat, and in-house production of butter and oat milk.
