Environmental sustainability

By embedding sustainability we will enable our university community to create positive change for society and environment.

Be sustainable

What we do

Winter Switch Off

As staff and students head off for a well deserved winter break, don't forget to switch things off.

Help save energy and reduce emissions by turning off anything that can be before you head off on your winter break, whether it's on campus, in Halls or at home.

Make sure you switch off lights, computers/laptops/monitors, kitchen appliances such as kettles, microwaves, festive decorations etc.

ReUse at Salford

The University of Salford is a member of WARP-it (Waste Action Reuse Portal), a redistribution network, which works in a similar way to Ebay or Freecycle but for organisations rather than individuals.

WARP-it makes it easy for departments to give away, loan or claim items unwanted by others within the organisation and beyond. Items which can be reused include furniture and stationery.

If you are from a local organisation interested in receiving donated items, please get in touch: eps-sustainability@salford.ac.uk.
