Nottingham Trent University Framework Agreement
Nottingham Trent University eNews - June 2009
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has been named the UK’s most environmentally friendly university in a national league table. The People and Planet Green League – published by the Times Higher Education supplement (THE) – places the university in the number one spot, having climbed an incredible 18 places since last year’s table was published.
The number one ranking highlights the significant work that our Environment Team and many colleagues throughout the University have undertaken during the last eighteen months, working to develop green initiatives, policies and practices across all three campuses. An ambitious carbon management plan which aims to reduce carbon emissions by 10% by the 2012/13 academic year has been introduced, whilst a strict waste management plan, sustainable procurement plan and ethical investment policy have also helped to underpin the university’s commitment to the environment.
The refurbishment of various buildings has been designed with innovative and futuristic ideas to combat environmental issues. Heating for these buildings will continue to be provided by Nottingham’s District Heat Scheme, which saves 149,000 tonnes of CO2 in the city every year.
And, with almost half of all the university’s waste already being recycled, an existing contract with waste removal experts Wastecycle is now being extended to include food waste collection and the removal of organic waste materials for composting.
The University’s Environment Officer, Grant Anderson, said: "It’s fantastic that we’ve been named as the number one green university, but we’ve got lots more ideas to put in place that will make us even greener!"
