‘Green’ Function Centre
Choosing to host your event at U City not only supports the ongoing work of Uniting Communities within South Australia, it also contributes to our ongoing commitment of being a certified carbon neutral organisation. It helps event organisers to reduce their own carbon emissions by using a low carbon facility that is 6 star Green Star rated.
Here are some of the ways our function centre is doing its part to reduce carbon emissions:
- U City is recognised as one of Australia’s ‘greenest’ buildings by design to date. It is predicted to use 45 per cent less energy and 30 per cent less water than a comparable new and is partly powered by solar panels on our roof.
- Did you know that our award-winning caterers Blanco Catering not only use local food that is sustainably sourced, but they donate left over food to organisations such as the Hutt St Centre.
- By sourcing all of the produce locally we are able to support small batch suppliers within South Australia and limit the amount of food miles travelled.
- Blanco Catering also practices a minimal food waste policy across all of their venues and menu
- All waste is disposed of responsibly – food waste and coffee grinds are disposed of in a separate “organics” bin which goes to Jeffries composting facility.
- Milk cartons and non-refundable bottles are disposed of in the dry waste and all refundable bottles and cans are donated to Scouts SA.
- All dry waste at U City goes to a resource recovery facility and is turned into an alternative fuel source. This is used by Adelaide Brighton Cement, directly replacing fossil fuels.
- We don’t use any disposable cutlery or crockery and, to minimise the use of water, we limit our use of linen within the function centre
- Toilets are low water consumption and all hand towels are composted
All of these initiatives play their part in helping the environment and reducing U City’s carbon footprint. Therefore, as an event organiser holding your event at U City, you can rest assured that your event is being run in an environmentally conscious way.
