The University takes its responsibility for the environment seriously and understands the need to respond to the challenges we face globally around issues such as climate change, human wellbeing, food, water and energy security.

Please help us to respond to these challenges by making greener choices when it comes to your event. This can be achieved by:

• Bring a reusable travel cup and a water bottle with you. We have water fountains and refreshments available at the Fair for you to refill.
• Avoiding single-use plastics in giveaways/merchandise.
• Reduce waste by using reusable resources that can be used at other events.
• Using public transport when visiting the University. A train station is situated 10 minutes away from the university, and buses run regularly onto campus.
• Avoid food items that are individually wrapped in plastic. Instead, bring items in recyclable or re-useable packaging.
• Reduce carbon emissions by phasing out merchandise made from textiles, like tote bags.
• Favour products manufactured from recycled materials rather than virgin material.
