Sustainable choices

In 2015 UniSC became a water refill campus, and stopped selling any single use plastic water bottles either directly or through its vendors. All UniSC campuses are water refill campuses, and we provide free drinking water to staff, students and visitors. This includes a variety of alternative options to purchasing commercial bottled water on campus.

This initiative aligns with the University's goal to reduce waste going to landfill and empowers the UniSC community to be environmentally responsible through providing a variety of alternative choices.

Refillable bottles

UniSC encourages people to bring their own refillable bottle. Refillable water bottles are available for purchase at Cafe C and the Brasserie at UniSC Sunshine Coast campus. Local retailers, located near each campus, also sell refillable bottles. UniSC no longer sells commercial bottled still water on campus.
