• New Merchandising Guideline: CUAS is committed to using merchandising products that are manufactured within the EU whenever possible. In addition, materials have to be sustainable (no single-use plastics) and suppliers have to be certified (GOTS, PEFC, FSC, Fairtrade…)
• Biodegradable products are used for cleaning
• The so-called “Ackerbox“ in which you can shop regional groceries is located on campus Villach
• A recycling bin for Nespresso coffee capsules is provided on campus Villach; all the other campuses are avoiding waste by using coffee machines without capsules.
• Bookshelves for swapping books and journals are available on all campuses
• Waste is separated on all campuses (paper, plastics, general waste, glass)
• A digital flea market for students and employees has been implemented in the intranet
• Switch to 100% recycled copy & toilet paper
• More digital instead of printed documents (internal invitations etc.)
• We are setting a green example for our graduates! Instead of merchandising articles, the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences awards sponsorships for trees at graduation. https://www.meinbezirk.at/spittal/c-lokales/absolventen-erhalten-patenschaft-fuer-baeume_a6332267
