This means that from now on you provide your own cup. You bring your own cup from home or use a Billie Cup. You can take these home again or leave them at work and wash them in between uses.
The department and employees are jointly responsible for ensuring that there are enough reusable cups for the department. A sustainable solution is to let employees bring excess cups from home. By collecting cups together as a department (more than one per person), you ensure that there are always enough cups, both for employees and visitors.
More and more departments switching to sustainable reuse
This concept has already been introduced in several buildings on campus. The rest of the buildings will follow in the coming months:
- Grotius (from 1 November)
- Felix (from 1 December)
- Logistics centre (from 1 December)
- Transitorium (from 1 December)
- Comenius building (1 January 2024 at the latest)
- TVA 1 (1 January 2024 at the latest)
- Erasmus building (1 January 2024 at the latest)
- Maria Montessori building (1 January 2024 at the latest)
Help out!
Do you notice a shortage of reusable mugs or cups in your department? Then check your cupboard at home to see if there are a few mugs you never use and bring them to work.
The environmental impact of the disposable cups we use every year is significant. Therefore, it is important that we all contribute to this step towards a sustainable campus.
