Make your own light and reusable ‘Plastic-free Kit’ (consisting of a water bottle or coffee cup, a meal container, a cutlery set and a straw), and use it for all meals you eat on campus.

Refill Your Water Bottle
There are over 80 water dispensers on campus, so you no longer need to buy bottled water. With the help of the ‘CUHK Mobile’ app (iOS/Android) and online map, you can easily find a nearby water dispenser.
