Waste Reduction

Help us reduce waste

On campus

• Avoid disposable charges and use a reusable cup for hot drinks at Salfood outlets and Atmosphere
• Use a refillable bottle for water, find your nearest water refill point on the campus map
• Find out how to reuse at Salford

In printing

• Print double sided
• Print two pages or more on one sheet
• Submit work which is double sided and single line spaced (and enable this if academic staff) 

In purchasing

• Do you need to buy the item in the first place?
• Do you need to buy the quantity of material?
• Specify energy efficient, durable products that contain little or no hazardous materials and are easily recycled at the end of their life
• Specify materials containing recycled materials, such as post-consumer, recycled content paper
• When buying an item, think about how much waste will be produced during its life and how you will dispose of it
