"Bring your own reusable cup" Vending Scheme
All hot drink vending machines offer a discount if you use your own cup rather than taking a disposable from the vending machine
Our environmental policy sets out the University of Southampton Catering Department’s intention to be more environmentally sustainable and minimise the impact of its business activities on the environment.
We recognise that day-to-day production, operation, service and disposal of food and drink is likely to consume moderately high levels of natural resources and generate significant volumes of packaging and food waste. It is therefore vital that we constantly take measures and review practices to reduce waste and manage our procurement processes to support and protect the environment, natural habitat and our precious eco-system.

Our Commitments:
We are working incredibly hard across all of our sites to reduce the number of products which use palm oil. This is always a consideration when introducing new retail items or creating new dishes.
Transforming our waste into nourishment for our campus plants, cultivating fresh produce in the process.
