How well do you know your bins at the University of Salford? ♻️

Our colleague Anna will go through common ‘wish cycling’ items. These items that people often think are recyclable but are actually not.

Preventing contamination in bins means more materials can be recovered in the recycling process. However the best policy on waste is to not have it in the first place by using reusable items.

Watch the video for some interesting info...

It's Recycling Week!

At the University we're working hard to reduce the waste we produce overall. However, in a lot of cases, waste is unavoidable so we actively work to recycle as much as we can.

As a University, we currently recycle around 45% of our waste, which includes food, paper, plastics, glass and metal. Our aim is to increase this to 50% by 2030.

What we can't recycle goes to other waste treatment processes such as anaerobic digestion or used to create energy - but nothing goes to landfill!

Have a look to see how well places across the University are recycling.

Between May and August, we have

A campaign we run that allows our green spaces across campus to grow wild. Giving nature time to thrive we're providing food and habitat for many creatures across campus. From butterflies to bees to creatures even bigger!

We've seen lots of plant species thriving during Let it Grow, such as Common Scabious, Ragged Robbin and Bee Orchids. We've also found many creatures enjoying these spaces, with many different types of bees, Common Blue Butterflies and even local deer.

As well as supporting local wildlife, Let It Grow helps keep soils healthy and locks in carbon helping it act as a valuable carbon store.

What's been your favourite Let It Grow site on campus?

Recently we delivered sustainability training to our newly appointed Students' Union Officers. Firstly we explored what sustainability is and highlighted some of the many Sustainable Development Goals that relate to action happening across the University. After delving into why sustainability is important and our University Sustainability strategy, we discussed what our Officers can do to support a Sustainable Salford, particularly around work in embedding Education for Sustainable Development. We also had a game of How Bad Are Bananas!

Thank you to Ammaria, Esther, Muyiwa, Tobe and Zainab for sharing your ideas and engaging with our activities - it was great to see how passionate you all are about sustainability.

Each year following the training, the Officers decide who will be the Student Officer Sustainability Champion, and we're excited to announce that for 2026/27 we have two! Ammaria Saadat -Business Officer and Tobenna Ndukwe - SU President.

As Sustainability Champions, they will bring sustainability to the forefront of the work being done in their role as Officers. We're looking forward to collaborating with them across their term in supporting a Sustainable Salford.

Over the past few months our Biodiversity and Sustainability Intern has helped deliver a range of projects that support nature across the University of Salford.

Iona developed resources to support bat conservation, installed hedgehog houses and presented about pollinators and biodiversity. The internship has contributed to making our campus a more wildlife friendly place.

Iona also showcased the University's biodiversity work to international visitors, supported the Big Butterfly Count, explored opportunities for new living walls and worked with local partners to enhance habitats for wildlife. Iona will be missed and we’re excited to see where she takes her talents next!
