Zero-Waste Week


Zero Waste Week, 2019, runs from 2nd – 6th September and is a time for businesses and individuals to look at changing the way we consume and manage the by-products of our consumption. 



We’re using this week to look at those Brighton hospitality venues that are taking assertive action in general, not just in zero waste or waste reduction, to create a more sustainable future and address the climate crisis. Read more.
 

Sustainability Spotlight | Zero-Waste Week
Industry People -  Nicholas Röhl, Moshimo

We meet Nicholas from Brighton's Moshimo who tells us how they are doing everything possible to tackle climate change.



He highlights their commitment to (and promotion of) fish sustainability and plant-based eating, and how 2019 saw them receive the award for Brighton's most sustainable restaurant, as voted for by the general public. 

 

The Moshimo Vegan Challenge

The quarterly Moshimo Vegan Challenge brings together the top chefs in the city to create Asian inspired plant-based dishes, voted for by the diners in a gourmet extraVEGANza. This years finals will be held at Moshimo on Thursday 26th September. Find out more.

One Planet Plate | Zero-Waste Week



The decisions we make around the food we eat have the greatest impact on the environment - more than the car we drive or the flights we take. 

Any restaurant that's serious about climate change will be helping its customers use the power of their appetites wisely. That's why the Sustainable Restaurant Association have launched One Planet Plate.

One Planet Plate is the perfect vehicle for chefs to highlight a dish that encapsulates their ethos in tasty, tangible food form and the new concept comes to Lucky Beach on 11th September.



For more information about One Planet Plate we interview Tom Tanner from the Sustainable Restaurant Association

Get in touch with Tom (tom@thersa.org) should you wish to attend the One Planet Plate Launch.
