Sustainability
Stats and facts
Do you know most disposable coffee cups are not recyclable and can take up to 50 years to break down in landfill? Across our four campuses, Monash throws away more than 760,000 single disposable coffee cups every year, which is enough to fill 20 trams. It’s time to ditch the disposables and bring your own cup, dine in, or use the new borrow cups on campus.
