Pre-Christmas "reuse bar" on the Neuburg campus

Together with representatives from Zero Waste Neuburg, visitors collected ideas for a more sustainable lifestyle in the areas of "Bathroom/Cosmetics", "Kitchen/Household", "Shopping/Travelling" and "Work/Finance". The focus was on the topic of "waste avoidance", based on the waste hierarchy of the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act.

Vivienne Kleinschmidt (23), Nadja Noras (25), and Larissa Wagenknecht (21), students in the "Sustainability and Environmental Management" Bachelor's degree program, launched the "Circular Future" initiative. The topic of sustainability has been on their minds for a long time, including in their private lives: "For a future worth living, it is important that we all contribute to living more sustainably," says Wagenknecht. The young women are not dogmatic; they want to reach out to people with their events and show them ways towards a more sustainable future.

The students were supported in their realization by "People on the Move II", a joint project of Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences (THI) and the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU). The project aims to create platforms to work on solutions to the pressing issues of our time.
