Three Gold Distinctions at the Zero Waste HORECA 2026 Awards for ASTERIA

ASTERIA Glyfada was honored with three top distinctions at this year’s Zero Waste HORECA Awards 2026, reaffirming its leading role in sustainable operations within the food service and event hospitality sectors. Specifically, the restaurants Ark and Bungalow 7, along with the new seaside event venue DOMUS, each received a Gold Award.

The event was organized by the Ecological Recycling Society and the Zero Waste Foundation under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment and Energy. A total of 3,200 businesses from the food service and hospitality industries participated in this year’s awards; however, only 28 nationwide succeeded in securing a Gold distinction—three of which were awarded to ASTERIA. The ceremony took place on February 13, 2026, as part of the HORECA 2026 exhibition at the Metropolitan Expo.

Sustainability Strategy with Measurable Impact

This triple recognition reflects a comprehensive environmental strategy with a clear objective: reducing environmental footprint through measurable and structured actions. The practices that contributed to the distinction include:

-Organized management of animal by-products (Category 3 ABPs) through a specialized partner.

-Systematic recycling and proper waste separation.

-Energy efficiency policies and responsible use of natural resources.

-Emphasis on Greek producers and the selection of high-quality raw materials.

-A Contemporary Destination with Historic Identity

ASTERIA has evolved into a fully integrated, high-standard destination on the Athenian Riviera, seamlessly combining gastronomy, culture, and event hospitality. With its restaurants Ark and Bungalow 7, private beach, swimming pool, cultural venues, and event spaces such as DOMUS and the Roof Top, it offers an experience that blends contemporary luxury with sustainable development.

This distinction marks another meaningful step toward transitioning to an operational model with minimal environmental impact.
