What can you do to help? 

  • When it comes to food and drink, you can contribute to sustainability by making your own sustainable choices when buying products. For example, you can buy more often for plant-based or vegetarian meals.
  • Never order more than you need. Whether you're using catering services or getting food yourself, make sure to order the right quantities to avoid waste.
  • Try to avoid the use of disposable packaging.

What are we working on?

Our objectives

Our goals for the coming years:

  • In 2025, at least 80% of all products and meals sold are vegetarian and at least 25% of these are plantbased.
  • Gain an insight into the chain of our products. Our products are locally sourced, seasonal and natural, with minimal emissions from farm to fork.
  • Eliminate food waste on the Radboud University campus.
  • Minimise waste from packaging and disposables. The remaining packaging is made of bio-based or reusable materials.
