Green starts here – 2026

Here’s to sustainable eating, drinking, and living on campus – and beyond.
As we kick off 2026, we’re excited to share our Green Starts Here 2026 campaign, celebrating the positive impact our University of Plymouth cafes have made and continue to make. 
Expect sustainable food and drink giveaways, and events that support our journey as a Fairtrade University. From locally sourced ingredients to reusable cups and plant-based options, we’re proud to support greener choices for our campus community.
Here’s to a greener year ahead – we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.
