European Tourism Sustainability Monitoring 2030

12/01/2025

The ETSM2030 project was presented as an example of good practice at a poster exhibition during the Sustainability Week at the University of Innsbruck.

From November 11 to November 15, 2024, the University of Innsbruck hosted its second “Sustainabilty Week”.

The aim of the poster exhibition was to show which research projects or initiatives exist at the University of Innsbruck that contribute to sustainability at the university or beyond.

The opening of the poster exhibition took place at the kick-off event on November 11, 2024 in the Ágnes-Heller Haus. After a short welcome by the Vice-Rector for Digitalization and Sustainability, guests were invited to a cozy brunch where the posters were presented at the same time and questions from the visitors were answered. Claudia Rauch, Austrian project team member from the University of Innsbruck, represented the poster at the kick-off event.

Does a zero waste strategy not only have environmental benefits but also financial and social ones?💚YES!💡As Pawel from the Eliksir restaurant showed us, a zero waste strategy has also major economic advantages, for example the lower cost of dishes and lower waste disposal costs🤝

26/08/2024

What zero waste strategy can we use? You could try to use the Rs💚 For example, the Eliksir restaurant services their devices regularly and does minor repairs by themselves💡

21/08/2024

Pawel from Eliksir presented his Zero Waste Strategy, using the important Rs which you can find in the previous posts💡For example in Eliksir champagne bottles become their filtered water bottles and incorrectly printed documents are used for internal notes - it's the small things that count!💚

19/08/2024

What are examples for actions in the Rs? Pawel from Eliksir presented Eliksirs actions, for example they do not accept garbage from suppliers and menus are created with the aim to maximize the use of products.💚

17/08/2024

To work sustainable it is also important to encourage your employees to work sustainable💡 Pawel from Eliksir talked about his methods to train and mobilize employees: by sustainability trainings online for employees, active participation and showing them their effects💚

15/08/2024

Rs are important!💚Pawel from Eliksir talked about the Rs and their importance: For example it is helpful to reuse what you already have by e. g. using packages like the jars of canned cucumbers💡

13/08/2024

Pawel presented in his Best-Practice-Speech the importance of the Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Recycle and Repair 💚 For example, do not accept free plastic bags for vegetables or fruits! 💡 You can find the next Rs in the next post - stay tuned!
