Veggie or vegan, zero-waste, sustainability,... Do you want to get to know other students who are interested in these topics and want to take action? Set up your own initiative or attend a sustainable initiative?
Then the Green Office is the place to be!
From now on, you can borrow free Mooimakers material to clean the environment around the campuses during your break. Don't hesitate and stop by one of the two student desks, alone or with your fellow students to borrow the equipment.
We will give you a grab stick, a garbage bag and gloves!
How to proceed?
1) Download the Weplog app and register your walk.
That way the city or town knows where you cleaned up and you can easily communicate the location of your trash bag!
2) Enjoy your walk.
Is your trash bag full or time is up? Leave your trash bag in a place where it is not annoying anyone.
- Hasselt: indicate via the app where you left your trash bag or send an email with a photo and the street name to leefmilieu@hasselt.be.
- Diepenbeek: information will follow asap.
3) Return the material to the student desk.

Green Office UHasselt lets students take the lead in sustainability. Our goal: a sustainable UHasselt community by informing, inspiring and activating. Both in student life, on campus, in education and in research at our university.
Together with the UHasselt community of students, professors, researchers, staff and management, we make our planet and our future a top priority.
The entire UHasselt community can participate in our activities. Our team consists of students, volunteers and staff members who are ready to help you.
You can always sign up as a volunteer or suggest new initiatives! Contact us at greenoffice@uhasselt.be or via our social media (@GreenOfficeUHasselt). We will regularly promote initiatives on our socials to look for volunteers.
We are also part of a larger network of Green Offices within Belgium and Europe!
We are your sustainability-contact for sustainable initiatives at UHasselt. We want to increase the visibility of existing sustainability initiatives and go the extra mile.
To make this happen, we organize activities, roll out campaigns and also work closely with UHasselt's policymakers to make the campuses more sustainable.
- Participating in brainstorm sessions/workshops on new themes we are starting up (e.g. sustainable printing, catering,...). We will invite you when we organise a brainstorm session/workshop.
- Green influencer: provide sustainable content on our social media pages.
- Organise your own sustainable activity that can be linked to Green Office, with our financial and supportive help. We are also working on a sustainable week from 8-12 May. If you would like to help with this, also always welcome.
- We are currently working around less plastic and more veggie / vegan. Perhaps there is something you yourself would like to see changed and where you want to take action together. Always welcome to contact us about this.
- Of course, you are also welcome at our activities. More info on our Facebook and Instagram page @GreenOfficeUHasselt.
- Advertising for the Green Office is always welcome :)
