Students are expecting educational institutions to take action towards tackling the climate crisis. Veolia can help transform your institution with innovative solutions that are tailored to your needs.
Alleviating pressure on tight budgets
One of the biggest challenges facing the sector is budget constraints. Our innovative and efficient waste management solutions continue to reduce overheads and operating costs.
Finding efficiencies across large sites
We provide bespoke solutions to schools and universities to make them more efficient, robust, and sustainable. We do this by sending zero waste to landfill, and using your food waste to generate electricity.
Maximising the value of your contract
We partner with educational institutions to help them achieve their sustainability targets, including increasing recycling rates, and diverting waste from landfill.
We have saved 39 tonnes of CO2 emissions by recycling paper from the education sector - saving 134 trees.
We have exported 472,095 kWh of electricity from food waste in the education sector - that's enough to power 20 universities for a day.
