Case Studies

Read how we're working with organisations to create more sustainable materials, for a future with less waste.

RAWKUS are a group formed of volunteers who are working with the Student Union, Warwick Accommodation, Warwick Estates and Warwick Volunteers to tackle wastage issues.

The UK's first national week of action on wasting food took place Monday 1 March - Sunday 7 March 2021, and the University got involved with a number of initiatives on campus.

Our Green Hub empowers our students to lead sustainability action within the University through a range of initiatives and societies.

We have nearly 600 students in the Green Champion network who work together to do the right thing for our environment and encourage others to do the same.

A scheme to fit bikes with a device to clean polluted air as people pedal around cities has won the annual WBS For the Future Prize. The GreenBike Filter is the brainchild of a team of six undergraduates who beat off 106 other groups to win first prize after students were asked to develop an innovative proposal to address a combination of the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Remembering the pride we felt after making environmentally friendly decisions is more likely to motivate us to make green choices in future than guilt, new research suggests.

We held a Nudgeathon focused on how to reduce energy consumption on the University campus. The goal was to leverage the combined power of diversity, expert knowledge, “insider” knowledge, and open group interaction to create new ideas for reducing consumption, stress test them and implement them on the University campus.
