How we've worked with the University of Manchester
“The University of Manchester collaborated with Hazaar in June 2023 to promote sustainability during summer turnaround. By introducing drop-off points across Victoria Park halls of residence, students easily disposed of reusable items, culminating in diverting 4.060 tonnes from waste and reselling 1,970 items at a community-focused event. Furthermore, 30% of items were donated to Sharewear charity. Scaling up in 2024, the partnership aims to support 6 times more beds, creating employment opportunities for UoM students and fostering community through events. This initiative not only reduces waste but also addresses the cost of living crisis while promoting a circular economy.”
