That’s a wrap on ! For the month of September, we celebrated UTS’s engagement with and contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a full month of events 🌱💚

Our exhibition was an informative and fun space for students, staff, and the general public to learn about and engage with the SDGs. 🟢🟥

We kicked off the month with a plastic-free opening featuring an insightful speech from Professor Peter Ralph, accompanied by matcha from the UTS Matcha Society. Throughout the month, we hosted 9 Chats for the Goals sessions where we heard about the work being done across the uni, held a student-led workshop to shape UTS's action towards a circular economy, made our own beeswax wraps, upcycled plant pots, played board games, and more! 💬

Make sure to keep an eye out here in the coming weeks to vote in the People's Choice award for our photo competition, and to see the winners! 📸

Thank you to our partners for helping us achieve inspiring Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17).

Want to get involved in the Circular Economy, and how we work towards it at UTS? Join us for a student-led workshop next week, where we will create a shared understanding of how universitites can move towards a more circular economy 💚

📆 Tuesday 22 September 2026
🕑 2:00–3:00pm
📍 Global Goals Month Exhibition Space (UTS Building 1, Level 4)

The circular economy is a system where products and materials are kept in circulation through processes such as maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting.

The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take, make, dispose" model, the circular economy model creates a closed-loop system.
