Zero Waste Restaurants

While some environmentally conscious consumers are doing their best to live low-waste lifestyles, some businesses are completely adopting waste-free models like the zero waste Restaurant Nolla in Helsinki. Due to our reliance on plastic, the idea of going zero waste may seem perplexing to some but with commitment, careful planning and a little ingenuity, leaders like Restaurant Nolla are setting a precedent for a more sustainable future.

The zero waste restaurant is so committed to its efforts that it has no trash cans in the kitchen and a set menu at Restaurant Nolla helps to prevent the ordering or spoilage of too much food. Notably, the restaurant also sets itself apart by making its own compost that is given back to farmers and customers for their own at-home gardens.
