Delivering a sustainable future… 

At deli(very) we recognise our responsibility in delivering the best food to you in an environmentally and socially responsible way.

As part of our Great Food at Leeds sustainability strategy, we are currently reviewing all deli(very) packaging, with an ambition to remove all single-use plastic by the end of 2020.

Customers may have already noticed that our sandwich offer is now delivered and served in a recyclable cardboard box, negating the use of single-use plastic trays. This allows a reduction of, on average, 500 plastic trays and lids per week. This number is set to increase by the end of the year as the recyclable cardboard box range expands to cover our entire deli(very) menu.

We are absolutely committed to working towards a smarter, more sustainable solution that doesn’t compromise the quality of our food or the environment – keep up to date with our plastic-free project by subscribing to our email newsletter.

Linking sustainability to healthy eating

We are excited to be focusing on sustainability for 2019 Healthy Week, aiming to prioritise your personal health, as well as the health of the planet.

As part of our sustainability strategy, we are aiming to encourage customers to eat more plant-based and plant-focussed meals. With the help from Student Sustainability Architect, Kathryn Warner, this Healthy Week 2019 we hope to inspire our customers to eat more fruit and veg, and enjoy meals where vegetables are the main component, rather than an afterthought. This is important for getting our 5 a day and looking after the planet.

 

Why is it important to reduce meat consumption?

  • Climate Change: the FAO estimates that livestock production is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Water use: considerably more water is used to produce a meat-based meal than a plant-based one. For example, it takes 15,500 litres of water to produce 1kg of beef, compared to 250 litres for 1kg potatoes.
  • Land use: more agricultural land is used to raise cattle than all other crops and domesticated animals combined.

 

For Healthy Week 2019 we are offering:

  • Free fruit with every vegan meal purchased in The Refectory
  • Vegan meals only served on the Green & Go counter
  • Street Food Hut outside the Refectory serving fresh vegan meals
  • Free porridge to those who cycle to work with the presentation of a cycling helmet

 

Visit the Refectory and our Street Food Hut outside the Students’ Union between the 17th-21st June to get yourself a delicious plant-based meal!

Reduce – Reuse

The Refectory now serves all of its counter food in compostable or recyclable packaging. This year we have already saved over 40,000 single-use plastic salad bowls from landfill. If you choose to, you can now bring your own containers to The Refectory, and ask our staff to serve your meal in containers you already own.

You Said, We Did: Catering

You said that you would like…

1. More variety and choice in the Refectory
We continue to vary our menus and always look to introduce popular food choices and themed menus throughout the year. We look at what is trending on the high street and incorporate this into our menus – for example, the loaded flatbreads and naans were introduced in September allowing customers to choose their bespoke toppings, sauces and whether they like it hot or not!

2. Better value for money
We continue to offer a variety of meal deals on both hot lunches and grab and go options. We have reviewed these to ensure that they remain relevant – for example, some of the Refectory meal deals no longer contain a drink as feedback told us this wasn’t required. We also offer Refresh our loyalty and cashless system which gives discounts and loyalty points on purchases, as well as monthly promotions with great prizes and giveaways.

3. Hot water in the Business School café
Some of our international students explained they prefer to drink hot water, therefore we have introduced a free self-service hot water station in the Business School Café.

4. The opportunity to eat and drink later
We have extended our opening hours in selected cafés, including Parkinson and Café 7 to facilitate students and staff working and spending time on campus into the evening. In addition, the Refectory is open until 7 pm Monday to Friday during term time.

5. More international food on the menu
We have continued to develop our menus in the Business School and Refectory to reflect a range of international dishes and flavours.

6. The opportunity to refill your water bottles
All of our cafes offer refills of cold drinking water and in addition, there are free drinking water provisions for all staff, students and visitors to the University at water fountains across campus.

7. Us to use fewer plastics
We have undertaken a host of initiatives to reduce the use of plastic including selling a range of Keep Cups at cost price and offering a 20p discount of hot drinks when using any Keep Cup. We also have Leeds University water bottles for sale and offer free drinking water in all our outlets. We are auditing and changing the range of disposables we use, being sure to make the right choices looking at the full life cycle of the product. Wherever possible we use crockery and have made a plastic pledge to evidence our commitment to being single-use plastic free #2020.
