SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY
Here are just some of the things we do to reduce waste at Campus Food & Drink
The menus we produce for functions at the Great Hall and Riddel Hall are printed on recycled paper and we reuse all covers.
All food waste is sent for composting.
All the cups we use at the Great Hall and Riddel Hall are fully compostable, this includes our plastic tumblers that are made from biodegradable plant-based plastic.

WE ARE A FAIRTRADE UNIVERSITY
Campus Food & Drink are committed to providing as many Fairtrade products as possible and ensuring that they're available in as many places as possible in and around the University.
As part of that commitment, we also raise, organise and run events and fundraisers to raise awareness of Fairtrade with colleagues and staff. Recent events have included the Fairtrade Coffee Morning at Riddel Hall and a Pancake Demonstration with the Great Hall chefs using Fairtrade products.

Eating seasonably simply means eating fruit and vegetables that are locally grown and ready to harvest at the same time as you eat them.
Seasonal produce is fresher, tastier, more nutritious, cheaper and often better for the environment than eating out of season.
By buying local seasonal produce, you are often directly supporting local farmers in the community.
