Our Story

Passionate about helping you live sustainably in Hungary

Who We Are

Hungary Eco Guide was created from a simple observation: while Hungary offers many opportunities for sustainable living, finding reliable, practical information can be challenging. As residents committed to reducing our environmental impact, we discovered that eco-friendly resources exist but are often scattered across different sources and languages.

Our team consists of sustainability enthusiasts, environmental advocates, and local residents who have spent years exploring Hungary's green initiatives, from zero-waste shops in Budapest to renewable energy programs nationwide. We've tested tips, visited locations, and connected with local organizations to bring you accurate, actionable information.
