Our mission is to foster significant behavioral change towards greener practices among restaurant owners, consumers, and local authorities by promoting sustainable practices, eliminating single used plastics, and building a greener, resilient, inclusive community.
Eco-RestoRATE engages consumers, businesses from the dining sector, municipalities, and organizations in adopting best practices to drive meaningful environmental change.
Thanks to a sustainability rating and rewards system, our Eco-RestoRATE platform promotes eco-friendly dining venues, helping them gain recognition for their eco-friendly efforts, attract conscious customers, and stand out in the industry. The Eco-RestoRATE label showcases their commitment to sustainability and reducing single-use plastics.
Eco-RestoRATE provides a community engagement environmental webapp that allows consumers to locate and rate dining venues (restaurants, cafes and bars) based on their eco-friendly practices and elimination of single-use plastics.
Restaurants and cafes create a profile, state their sustainable efforts and gain recognition for specific criteria they commit to engage in. They receive our Eco-RestoRATE label as a reward of maximum commitment on being sustainable. Top 20 most sustainable dining venues are being promoted monthly.
Consumers find dining establishments on an interactive map and rate them based on their eco-friendliness sustainability criteria. They create their profile, network with the green community, launch and join eco-events and gain points, rewards and discounts! Good sustainable practices and environmental actions from our community are being promoted. They can create a call for action and invite others to join.
Municipalities showcase their green initiatives and exchange good practices with the rest of the community.
