Following Climate Week, the OU has launched a new initiative which will see waste bins removed from all Open University staff offices/desks on the main Walton Hall campus and in regional centres. These will be replaced with a desk tray for waste paper and centrally located office recycling stations for all other waste.
This scheme was initially trialled in two buildings on the Walton Hall campus – where, during a four-week period, recycling increased from 37% to 71%.
The university is also inviting staff to join its Green Network supporting this and other environmental initiatives.
