About EcoHungary
Promoting Sustainable Living in the Heart of Central Europe
Our Story
EcoHungary started as a personal project in 2024. After years of living in Budapest and trying to reduce our environmental impact, we noticed a gap: while there were scattered resources about sustainable living in Hungary, nothing brought it all together in one accessible, English-language guide.
We set out to create the resource we wished had existed when we first started our own eco-friendly journey. Our content is based on firsthand experience, not press releases or sponsored placements. When we recommend a market, a product, or a practice, it is because we have tried it ourselves and found it genuinely useful.
We are not affiliated with any government body, corporation, or environmental organization. Our editorial decisions are independent, and we do not accept payment for reviews or recommendations. The goal is simple: to make sustainable living in Hungary more accessible by providing honest, practical information.
