ENVIRONMENT
Energy Efficiency:
We’re powered by the sun! 30KW Photovoltaic system, a fancy word for solar panels, are installed to generate between 10-50% of our hostel’s power needs
Low energy LED light bulbs and air-conditioning with motion sensors mean there’s no waste of energy in empty rooms
Promotion of public transport as the most sustainable form of transport!
Waste Minimisation:
Recycling stations in kitchens, common areas and office areas. We recycle anything from printer cartridges or our partially recycled paper, to tinnies of beer and plastic containers, and aluminium!
Bulk buy products help us reduce our waste by a whole bunch
We sell reusable bottles and reusable shopping bags, with water refill stations across the hostel
Swap shelves give second hand goods, clothing, food and more, new life
Water Saving:
Our taps and showers are 5 stars! 5 WELS stars for water efficiency that is. Our toilets? Dual flush for ultimate bathroom efficiency
Drought resistant planting means the garden doesn’t only look good, but does good too
Social Sustainability:
We’re proud to partner with education providers to offer work experience across our hostel, including onsite education programs and presentations to local students.
