As an educational institution, PolyU is serious about environmental education and is willing to take the issue on as it announces the progressive elimination of bottled water on campus. The sale of bottled water (below 1L, non-sparkling and unflavoured) was discontinued in the campus convenience store and all catering outlets on Main Campus and student hostels from 1 September 2017. Such product will be gradually removed from vending machines on campus as well.
As an alternative to bottled water, the University will maintain adequate drinking water stations to make it easy for everyone to refill their reusable bottles on the go. A convenient tool, the PolyU Green Map, is available for all to check where they can refill their water bottles on campus. Let’s start carrying your own reusable bottles today!
