Making strides towards reducing our reliance on single-use plastics, the Atrium at Jubilee Campus is now trialling removal of problematic single-use plastics including condiment sachets, single-serve jam packets and paper salt, pepper and sugar sachets as part of the WasteNott project.

Funding is available to student societies and departments to reduce waste and single-use plastics. The fund could part purchase KeepCups, water bottles, or another initiative to reduce waste in your area. The fund is open until 28 June - get in touch with us to discuss your idea further!

Have a great idea to reduce the world's carbon footprint? You can take part in the Carbon Footprint challenge and work with leading companies across Europe to develop it. Ideas are welcomed from students and young professionals.

We've put together useful information for current students moving out of accommodation soon, whether you're living on or off-campus. It's simple to donate your clothes, books, electricals and unopened non-perishable food to charity.
