About EcoAustria
Dedicated to helping residents and visitors embrace sustainable living in one of Europe's greenest nations.
Our Story
EcoAustria was born from a simple observation: Austria has incredible environmental infrastructure and resources, yet many people struggle to navigate the complexities of sustainable living in a new country or even in their own communities.
We created this platform to bridge that gap, offering practical, localized information that helps everyone, from long-time residents to newcomers, make environmentally conscious choices in their daily lives.
Our content focuses on actionable advice rather than abstract concepts. Whether you're trying to understand Austria's waste separation system, find package-free stores in your neighborhood, or explore car-free transportation options, we provide the specific guidance you need.
