Recycling
Current University initiatives
The University recycles all used ink and toner cartridges. These
are picked up by a registered ISO4001 company http://www.inkagain.co.uk/ who
won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2004.
All waste paper is either recycled using the internal process or
is made up into free scrap pads for staff & students.
Where possible, old stationery items which are reusable (such as
box files for example) are redistributed to staff.
Around 15% of the stationery products that we stock are deemed
as ‘green’ products which means they are made from recycled
materials, the materials used in them are less harmful to the
environment or they are a fair trade product.
Most packaging (such as cardboard boxes) are either recycled or
reused when possible.
We actively encourage the electronic submission of work, to
reduce the amount of wastage through hard copy and unnecessary
printing.
The paper the University currently sources is from an ecological
responsible company and the paper comes from a well managed
sustainable forest.
