Sustainability in catering at the Freiberg Student Union

At Studentenwerk Freiberg, we are committed to sustainable catering that enables our guests to enjoy food and drinks in an environmentally friendly way while reducing their ecological footprint. With our new reusable crockery system and climate-friendly dishes, we promote modern eating habits and reduce disposable waste. Together, we are contributing to greater sustainability on campus.

Reusable crockery

We have declared war on the growing mountains of waste and rising costs caused by disposable packaging.

Reusable crockery

Since 1 June 2022, the Studentenwerk Freiberg has been offering the Relevo reusable tableware system. This marks the end of the era of disposable food packaging and cardboard coffee cups. The Studentenwerk Freiberg was already using this system before the obligation to offer reusable crockery came into force.

It's as simple as that:

Download the Relevo app from Google Play or the App Store and register free of charge. Registration is necessary as this is the only way for the system to recognise that you are participating in the system and which returnable containers you have borrowed.

Only the personal data that is absolutely necessary for the use of the reusable system is collected. Further information on data protection can be found on the website of Relevo. We do not collect any personal data in this system. Nor do we have access to the data processed during the registration process in the app.

Let us know at the serving counter that you would like to take your food with you in Relevo reusable crockery. Scan the QR code on the reusable crockery with your Relevo app at the serving counter.

In the Freiberg cafeteria, you need to scan your Relevo ID at the cup dispenser to borrow the cup. The machine then dispenses the cup and you scan the QR code on it. The cup is then stored in your user account.

Show the scan confirmation on your smartphone at the counter or checkout to finalise your order.

Whether you're outside in summer or at home in your dorm or at work in winter, with Relevo you can enjoy your food or coffee and do something good for the environment and perhaps also for your conscience.

Return your Relevo reusable crockery during opening hours in a canteen of the Studentenwerk Freiberg or at any other Relevo partner within 14 days. Please go to a manned checkout and scan the code provided there with your Relevo app. The container will then be taken from you.

Please note that Relevo crockery must be free of large food residues and therefore visually clean when it is returned. Heavily soiled and therefore no longer usable containers will be reported to Relevo and charged at Relevo's discretion. The same applies to attempts at fraud when returning the crockery.
