Sustainability

This web page presents large- and small-scale sustainability projects from different divisions of Studentenwerk Dresden.

The result is an overview of sustainable solutions already found and implemented in daily activities and cooperation with students and other partners, as well as the effects and potential these projects offer.

Student Dining Services

  • Climate plate in the canteen

    The canteens of the Studentenwerk Dresden are involved in the “KlimaTeller” (climate plate) project, which enables automated CO2 balancing of the dishes and implements the KlimaTeller award for climate-friendly meals.

  • Garbage collection event - a Welcome tutors initiative

    Every year, lots of students accept the invitation of our Welcome tutors to walk through their own neighborhoods and collect any garbage lying around. The event creates a sense of community in addition to being both sustainable and fun!

  • Bicycle inventory

    Old, defective, and abandoned bicycles are a familiar sight in and around residence halls – but what happens with them? Our motto is “Fix, don’t throw away!” so the bikes are taken to self-help workshops, where old bikes are put in working condition on a full-time and voluntary basis, social added value included.
