Eco-friendly hostel in Estonia

This is what Looming, an eco-friendly hostel located in Tartu, Estonia, has been doing for quite a while, making the environment an integral part of its identity.

The hotel management has implemented a property-wide policy to minimise the impact of all operations on the environment through its commitment to reusing and recycling resources, training and awareness raising, offering eco-friendly services, and renovating facilities.

Here are some energy-saving measures rooted in circular economy principles from Looming:

• regular training of employees
• eco-friendly mobility (hostel bike rental, walking tours)
• saving on resources with signs around the hostel gently reminding guests to save water and electricity
• better waste handling and green cleaning using eco-labelled products
