Reducing carbon and waste

We are working to increase sustainability across the University's estate.

Find out how to reduce emissions through virtual collaboration, choosing low-carbon local transport, and following our Sustainable Travel Policy for national and international travel.

Waste less, reuse more and recycle effectively to meet the University's Zero Waste strategy targets.

The Department of Social Responsibility and Sustainability can help you make your lab more sustainable through training, funding and advice. We also run an awards scheme to recognise your good practices in lab sustainability.

Find out how your old computers and other IT equipment can be reused and what to do next. The IT Reuse project has reused over 2,000 PCs and 2,000 items like keyboards, mice, and monitors since 2015.
