HKUST Sustainability

🌟 Stop! Don’t Shop! Adopt! 🌟

🎉We are excited to invite you to ”Stop! Don‘t Shop! Adopt!“, where we will be giving away donated items collected from previous students who lived in the student halls and our campus community. This campaign not only aims to reduce waste but also seeks to spread kindness in our community! 💚

🗓️ Date & Times:
11 June 🕛 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
12 June 🕣 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

📍 Location: Living Lab Hub, Academic Concourse (Opposite Passione Cafe and Next to Lift 25-26)

💵 Payment: Cash Only

📦 Items Available:*
🛏️ Beddings
⚡ Electronic Appliances
🍽️ Household Items (Laundry & Kitchenware)
🖊️ Stationery

*All items are available on a first-come, first-served basis!

✨ We have gathered a variety of items collected from our community. Rest assured, the beddings have been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized by a laundry company!

For all items, we are offering them at a much discounted price to any students in need. These items have been meticulously sorted by our team and are in great condition. We invite you to come browsing and pick up the items that you require. 🛒

💖 We believe that these items, though previously owned, still have plenty of life left in them and can find a new loving home with you. We hope that they will be adopted by students who will benefit from them and continue their journey of usefulness.

👜 Remember to bring your own bag to collect the items you want! Look forward to seeing you! 🎈

Check out the new Smart Food Waste Bins at HKUST! ♻️

The 19 new Smart Food Waste Bins are now available across student halls and staff residences as part of our “Life Beyond the Bin” campaign. This is Hong Kong’s first self-financed food waste smart recycling bin program by an academic institution—demonstrating HKUST’s commitment to sustainability.

Here’s why it matters: HKUST produces around 1.4 metric tons of food waste each day, with about 5.7% that comes from student halls and staff residences. By improving food-waste separation, more valuable organic resources can be recovered. 🌿

Help us make our campus more sustainable and use the GREEN$ mobile app to recycle food waste and earn rewards! 💚
