Circular Economy Case Study: Donation Drive and Kitchen Kit Market 2024

The Donation Drive is a project to reduce the environmental impact of move out by making it easier for students to donate unwanted items before they leave campus. This proactive system prevents waste, reduces the University’s carbon footprint and supports incoming students and local charities. In the 2023/24 academic year, there were four Donation Drives covering the major student move-out periods on campus: in March, June, July and September. This project is run by the Energy & Sustainability Team with support from the Post & Portering Team, Waste & Recycling Team, Warwick Conferences and Warwick Accommodation.
