THE BUCKS NEW USAGE UPCYCLING SCHEME This scheme holds a gold level Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice, redistributes used and unwanted items from student accommodation, such as bedding, crockery, small electricals and kitchen equipment. We also offer items to other new students when they arrive at BNU. This is both sustainable and helps our students to save money they would have had to spend to prepare for university life. Last year around 150 black bags of unwanted items were redistributed, all of which would otherwise have gone to landfill. Clothing and excess items are donated to the YMCA or Wycombe Food Hub All donations are delivered using the University’s electric car, our post van or are collected in person to minimise our environmental impact.
