We act responsibly and sustainably.

• Oils, frying and frying fats are purely vegetable and cholesterol-free.
• We know our suppliers and ensure compliance with our specifications.
• We buy our products without additives.

• We have organic tea.
• We offer sustainable alternatives to the To-Go-cup.

We let ourselves be controlled

• All our cafeterias are certified organic.
• Our hygiene concept is controlled by an external hygiene institute.

You can do that:

• Take home leftovers. (Food Waste)
• If you are not hungry, order a smaller plate at the counter (food waste)
• Say how much you want when you look it up
• Use returnable cups instead of paper to-go cups (waste avoidance)
• Return plates, cups and cutlery after use, they will be reused (waste avoidance)
• Take less meat dishes, there are always vegetarian or vegan alternatives (climate)
• Salt and pepper in portions: first try, then fetch! Or bring it back again (waste avoidance)
• Only take as many napkins as you need
• Inform fellow students about these possibilities
• Use organic products and dishes (Mensa 1 in the buffet)
• Picking up coffee grounds from our cafeterias - coffee grounds can be used for many things
