From 1 July: TU Delft reduces single-use plastic on campus
The next phase in reducing single-use plastic cups and trays on campus will start on 1 July. The first step was taken on 6 February with the introduction of the Billie Cup at staffed coffee points. In accordance with the European directive, disposable cups will no longer be available free of charge at unstaffed coffee points from 1 July onwards. This will make a significant contribution to our sustainability ambition of being carbon neutral, circular and climate adaptive by 2030.
What does this mean for you from 1 July?
TU Delft asks to please use a reusable cup for all on-campus coffee machines. In public areas, you will find some coffee machines (mainly used by students) where you will have a choice between a reusable cup or, for a fee, a disposable cup. For banqueting, only porcelain will be available as disposable cups will no longer be offered.
Did you know?
TU Delft will save five million disposable cups annually by using reusable cups.
