Zero Waste HoReCa: Meet a sustainability innovator and their best practices toward a greener future! 🌿☀️
☀️We are introducing you to Fornelia Ltd, proudly awarded the special prize “Sustainable Innovative Technology 2025” by AKTI.
Based in Cyprus, Fornelia is redefining sustainable cooking with its high-efficiency solar ovens, powered by advanced parabolic concentrators. These ovens cook any meal with the performance of modern electric or gas appliances, but run entirely on solar energy. Zero emissions. No fire risk. Zero operating cost. Just clean, renewable power. ⚡
💡HoReCa Tip:
For hotels, adopting Fornelia’s solar ovens means immediate energy savings and a powerful sustainability advantage. A medium-sized hotel using five solar ovens can save up to €7,000 annually in electricity or gas consumption!
Fornelia received the award, which was presented during the Seed Funding Awards 2025, on 20 November 2025 at the Strovolos Cultural Centre in Nicosia. The event was organized within the framework of the Zero Waste HoReCa project, which is implemented by AKTI Project and Research Centre with the support of The Coca-Cola Foundation and aims to promote sustainable practices across Cyprus’s tourism industry.
