Ecovidrio, the entity specializing in the management of glass packaging waste, has distinguished two establishments on the Valencian coast for their responsibility and commitment to sustainability. These are Nostre Bar in Alboraya and BonAmb (Jávea, Alicante), who have participated in the #MovimientoBanderasVerdes campaign.
This project recognizes the effort of local hospitality and the activism of coastal municipalities for circularity during the summer, especially in the correct management of waste. More than 12,000 hospitality businesses and 120 coastal municipalities from six autonomous communities are participating in this VII edition of the initiative. Nostre Bar competed with nearly 3,000 hospitality businesses from 28 municipalities.
Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of Nostre Bar's project. The establishment has its own garden, ensuring proximity products with menus adapted to the season, and they also compost organic waste. Every Tuesday, the venue serves as a collection point for local, seasonal, and organic products, while on Wednesdays they hold "Dimecres de la terra" (Wednesday of the Land), delivering orders exclusively by bicycle to reduce their carbon footprint.
Furthermore, they have collaborated in creating a recipe book of seasonal products from the Valencia region's garden, and they are part of sustainable projects such as Bizquert Paradise and La Fanecà.
In this new edition, the awarded hospitality professionals will enjoy an exclusive master class and a tasting of dishes by the renowned chef Andrés Torres, holder of a Michelin Star, a Michelin Green Star, winner of the Basque Culinary World Prize 2024, and 1 Sol de Repsol.
