Newcastle University produces a significant amount of waste. From everyday recyclables and food waste, to waste from labs such as glassware and chemicals, and office furniture and electrical equipment.

Managing waste at the University is an exciting challenge! The University is committed to its Sustainable Waste Management policy and the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

We cannot stop producing all waste, but together everyone can make a significant contribution to reducing and managing our waste in a sustainable manner.

We need everyone’s help!
