At Odprta kuhna we care for the environment

In 2016 Ljubljana was named the European Green Capital. The city is unique - small but with an immense hospitality and great quality of life. In a very short time a lot of changes have been implemented, which is one of the reasons that Ljubljana received the EGC 2016 title. Odprta kuhna is also committed to caring for the environment in all our activities.

Zero waste
Ljubljana is the first European capital on the way to becoming a zero waste society, which is based on reducing, reusing and recycling waste. At Odprta kuhna we encourage our vendors to use reusable or biodegradable packaging and we recycle consistently. We also call on visitors to recycle and are glad to help them with any questions regarding the right way to separate waste.

Our water
Ljubljana is one of just a few European capitals that can pride itself with natural, high quality water from the tap that needs no technologic processing. On the location of Odprta kuhna, at Pogačarjev trg square, you can also quench your thirst with tap water right next to the seating area.

Mobile without cars
The Ljubljana city center is closed for traffic, making it friendly to pedestrians and cyclists. We are also very happy to see visitors coming to Odprta kuhna with public transport, by bike or on foot and thus keep our air cleaner and Ljubljana nicer.

If you have any questions, ideas or advice regarding the care for a more beautiful and a nicer environment, we’d love to hear from you at info@odprtakuhna.si. Thank you for contributing to a greener, cleaner, safer, more solidary and tidier Ljubljana.
