This challenge made me think more about the ways we can recycle our waste.
The best solution is to reduce it first and reuse things but some things go to waste straight away like Styrofoam.
We had a fragile parcel delivered recently and it was packed with Styrofoam.
I know only one point to recycle it and it is in Richmond Building- my place of work.
I have not seen or am aware of any other points that collects it and recycle.
Also I think that very few people are aware of it that it can be recycled.
As a Bristol University employee I wondered if this scheme is available for students??
I have emailed sustainability department and awaiting their replay. Let’s see if we can save some of the waste from the landfill and make this available for grater multitude.

cCHANGE Team commented on Day 26: Styrofoam recycling 3 years agoHi Marzena, Leonie here. Day 30! Congratulations! How has your challenge been going in the last few days? Will you eat more vegan meals after this? It would be wonderful if you could give us a quick final update now at the end of the 30 days. What did you learn about yourself? About making change? It doesn't have to be long. Thanks so much for joining the challenge, experimenting, and reflecting. It's been really inspring following your journey, reading about how you inspired your daughter, the great recycling ideas you shared, and how you found vegan meals the family likes. Hope you can make it to the wrap up on Friday. Warm wishes, Leonie Respond

Marzena Orlik commented on Day 26: Styrofoam recycling 3 years agoHi Shandin - this was Sustainably reply: “ We have several Poly collection points on campus but are for staff use only, mostly at buildings with Labs. We do not have the resources or staff to have multiple bins within buildings, Apologies. “ That’s quite sad, I really hope styrofoam will be banned soon. Respond

Thank you for sharing Marzena. I will put that on my list to query with them and my network of Sustainability Champions are pushing the University on their commitments to sustainability. Respond
