Sustainability Corner

We have stepped away from selling plastic water bottles over the counter and we now sell plastic free “Water” bottles that are designed to be refillable via the water stations around campus offering chilled and filtered tap water. Last term we sold 1548 of them which is a great step forward in moving away from plastic to a bottle made from sugarcane instead. A positive alternative to single use plastic bottles that pre pandemic added up to 230,000 bottles being thrown away every year.

Local Suppliers – we are also looking at using more local suppliers that are based in the northwest, supporting local business and reducing food miles. We have analysed our spend last year and 80% of our purchasing was to northwest suppliers. This is something we are focusing on now to increase as long as these suppliers and giving the College the best value for money.

Disposable paper cups – this year we have taken another step forward to nudge customers to use their own reusable cups for hot and cold drinks through our Starbucks outlets offering a 50p saving every time you use your own cup. Customers can buy a Starbucks re-usable cup or bring their own and still make the saving. These two new initiatives tap into Gen Z’s desire to “spend to save” (spaving), whilst also helping the environment.

Vegan food – sandwiches & salads through the outlets. From Spudshaw we sell jacket potatoes, vegan hot pasties and sausage rolls. We do an incredible vegan falafel wrap with your choice of sauce. Vegan food has a super low carbon footprint compared to other foods and the quality and flavour of vegan food now has improved considerably over the years.
