Sustainable canteen
​​​​​​​
The desire for sustainability and climate protection with enjoyment plays a major role among our students and employees and is reflected in the holistic approach of our sustainable university.
Students, employees and those responsible for catering at the Studentenwerk work together on the implementation of the sustainability canteen. In addition to health aspects, the focus is on an environmentally conscious and sustainable use of food. Due to the good cooperation with the Studentenwerk Frankfurt (Oder), important milestones on the way to sustainability canteens could be reached in the last years:
- October 2017 Launch of Refillable Eberswalde!, an Eberswalde-wide reusable cup deposit project for Coffee-To-Go.
- January 2018 Completion of the strategy paper "More sustainability on the plates! Development of HNEE's cafeterias into sustainability cafeterias."
- January 2020 Strategy meeting "Sustainability canteen - How can a sustainable offer be implemented and financed in the canteens of the HNEE?"
- November 2020 Implementation of key milestones through menu change.
