Glassary, Student Accommodation and Sustainability
The CKI’s ALIVE programme partners with the campus accommodation centres to provide bi-annual volunteer donation events to allow students an avenue to avoid landfill and instead give a second life to a wide range of materials. Items are donated to local charities or made available for students. The aim of this project is to provide students with access to a sustainable repository from which to purchase a range of household items, collected and reused after they are left behind by departing international students, for a much more affordable price. Glassary connects donations to local charities, will save future students money, improve students’ access to higher education by removing a financial barrier, and significantly reduce the amount of waste discarded upon the environment.
