Sustainable

Since the introduction of the RELEVO deposit system in 2021, over 420,000 items of disposable packaging have already been saved. With our own STW deposit system, we want to build on this success and work with you to establish an even more efficient, sustainable system.

The new reusable system not only reduces waste, but also saves valuable resources such as water and energy, which are required for the production of disposable packaging. It also offers a hygienic and practical alternative for anyone who wants to enjoy their meals on the go.

With the introduction of PFAND -TASTISCH, Studierendenwerk Saarland is setting another example of sustainable innovation on campus. The aim is to make an important contribution to environmental protection together with students and staff and to make everyday life more sustainable.

Studierendenwerk Saarland has reached a remarkable milestone in terms of sustainability and employee development. It was the first company in Saarland to be awarded gold status as a “bicycle-friendly employer” by the ADFC. The Studierendenwerk’s extraordinary commitment to a bicycle-friendly working environment was particularly recognized. In recent years, Studierendenwerk Saarland has taken numerous innovative measures to promote cycling among its employees. These include the introduction of a bicycle leasing program, which enables employees to purchase high-quality bicycles at attractive conditions. In addition, it has been observed that more and more employees are choosing to cycle to work. One particularly creative initiative is the leisure tips on social media or on the company intranet, where employees share their cycling routes and destinations with colleagues. Mobility Minister Petra Berg added: “The gold award for Studierendenwerk Saarland is an important signal for a joint Saarland mobility turnaround. It shows that sustainable mobility in everyday working life is not only possible, but can also be implemented extremely successfully and practicably. We hope that this example will find many imitators and, as a ministry, we are available to provide financial support and advice with our funding guidelines
