Have you heard about three Michelin star restaurant Azurmendi in Spain? Azurmendi is the most sustainable restaurant according to the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Azurmendi’s Chef, Eneko Atxa’s passion for sustainability and respect for the environment are reflected in many different ways, such as a smart building that regulates its room temperature through a geothermal heating and cooling system, or in the daily delivery of merchandise by only one truck from its own logistic centre to control its carbon footprint, while making sure that all of Azurmendi’s providers work according to this sustainable philosophy. He also composts and reuses organic waste, collects rain water throughout the year, and even recycles ideas in what he calls the “Eneko system.”
