Sustainability at Bielefeld University
The topic of sustainability is firmly anchored in the rectorate at Bielefeld University with the Vice Rectorate for Science and Society. The Vice-Rectorate is responsible for developing a sustainability strategy that builds on Bielefeld University's sustainability mission statement. It pursues an approach that implements the different dimensions of sustainability - ecology, economy & social issues - in the various areas of the university - research, study & teaching and operations.
In this portal you will find information on current projects and measures relating to sustainability at Bielefeld University, on the past participatory process for developing the preliminary sustainability mission statement, on funding opportunities for sustainability-related projects, as well as on persons to contact and opportunities to make suggestions.

Did you know ...
...that there are Ricoh toner collection boxes and non-Ricoh toner collection boxes in most of the university's copy rooms? In both cases, the collected cartridges are reconditioned and reused after an inspection and only disposed of if they cannot be reconditioned. The respective departments / secretary's offices are responsible for purchasing the Ricoh boxes themselves.
The collection box for the Collection Dragon campaign can be requested by sending an email to abfallwirtschaft@uni-bielefeld.de.
