Sustainability

In Eindhoven Zoo we let people see and experience the beauty of nature. To protect nature, we try to make all kinds of facets in our park as sustainable as possible.

Green Key

Green Key is the (international) hallmark for sustainable companies. Eindhoven Zoo holds the Green Key Gold certificate (the highest attainable). View our CSR statement here.

Hospitality

Puro Fairtrade coffee and Lipton rainforest Alliance tea are served at Eindhoven Zoo's catering outlets. So in our park you can enjoy delicious hot drinks responsibly and sustainably. Besides sustainable coffee and tea, other sustainable products are also available at our catering points. For example, we serve organic tomato soup, croquettes and frikandells. Many more of our products carry a Fairtrade label or Beter Leven Keurmerk.

Durable cups and plates
All drinks and all food are served in sustainable cups and on sustainable plates. For example, our cups are made from sustainable FSC wood and the plates are made from palm leaves. In the future, we will use more and more sustainable products in our catering business.

Sustainable cleaning
Only environmentally friendly cleaning products of the EU Ecolabel label are used at Eindhoven Zoo.

Sustainable feed for animals

Hay and kibble
The animals at Eindhoven Zoo are fed only sustainable hay and pellets. No pesticides are used in the production of the hay and minimal fertilization takes place. In addition, the hay and pellets are transported to Eindhoven Zoo by trucks with minimal CO2 emissions.

Sustainable fish
The feed (fish) for the polar bears, for example, carries the MSC label, which stands for sustainably caught fish from Marine Stewardship Council.

Separating waste

At Eindhoven Zoo, wood, iron, rubble and paper waste is separated. Will you help us? We like it when our guests also consider waste separation.
