Zero Waste in Hall of Residence

The University's re-use activities formed a part of the pioneering Moving towards Zero Waste in Student Halls of Residence by providing Reuse Schemes for Real Use Project, which won the National Recycling Awards "Best Waste Minimization Project" in November 2008.  In March 2009, the University's Sustainable Living Programme Coordinator and Environmental Bursar worked with other parties in running a London workshop at LSE to introduce London HE and FE institutions to the project.  In November 2009 a workshop was run by Durham for all North East HE and FE institutions. The University Chancellor, Bill Bryson, opened the day, and it is hoped that other North East Universities can learn from the excellent example set by Durham.
