Gewone mokken in restaurants

Het is niet alleen fijner om uit een gewone koffiemok te drinken, het is ook beter voor het milieu. Daarom vroegen we vanochtend aan het College van Bestuur of het niet mogelijk is om naast papieren bekers, ook gewone aardewerken mokken te gebruiken. Het College van Bestuur gaat nu uitzoeken waarom er op dit moment alleen papieren bekers gebruikt worden.

Dit was onze woordvoering:

Even though the outsourcing of the Food&Drinks services has already been discussed in the University Council, we would like to take the opportunity to mention a current issue. If you buy a soup in one of the university restaurants, you can choose between eating your soup there from a ceramic bowl, or choose the takeaway option of a paper bowl. If you buy a coffee, however, you do not have this choice. Coffee can only be purchased in paper cups. From students, we heard that they would appreciate the option to buy coffee in ceramic cups, as coffee and tea from an actual cup does taste a lot nicer than from a paper cup. At the same time, it would also make the restaurants more sustainable.
In the process of outsourcing the Food&Drinks services ideas like this one can of course be implemented. Our question, however, is to already make this change in the meanwhile, until the Food&Drinks services are actually outsourced. Therefore, our question, would it be an option to have paper cups and ceramic cups in the university restaurants and can the CvB agree to look into the feasibility of this plan?
