Schools and colleges like yours must lead by example
You’re shaping the next generation’s environmental stewards. This is exactly what the Sustainable Development Goals aim for. But they’re not just ideals. They’re expectations. Meaning your role has never been more critical.
MyGug is your partner in this mission. We’re recognised by the Irish government in their sustainability guidelines as part of the School Sector – Climate Action Mandate. MyGug is your tool to integrate sustainability deeply into your curriculum. So you’re not just ticking a box. You’re setting the standard.
MyGug enables students to directly tackle food waste, turning a global challenge into a hands-on learning experience
Ireland’s first food-waste treatment system that fully integrates into your campus
By converting nearly 100% of your food waste, you slash your LPG fuel use and cut out the carbon footprint of food waste collection. You also gift your gardens nutrient-rich, eco-friendly fertiliser.
Aiming for a Green Flag? MyGug directly contributes to the themes ‘Global Citizenship – Food and Biodiversity’ and ‘Litter and Waste’. So you make a statement that your school is pioneering a greener future.
Your school or college can contribute to these Sustainable Development Goals with MyGug
Supports your students’ existing eco-efforts
With MyGug your students or staff can:
- Produce free fertiliser for the garden they’re already tending
- Generate free biogas to cook with their own clean energy
- Witness sustainable systems working in harmony, not in isolation
Already composting? MyGug is an upgrade. Unlike compost heaps, it processes nearly every type of food waste. No need to worry about contamination. And the sealed, odour-free environment doesn’t attract rodents or vermin. So your waste management is a breeze.
Above all, you make the global challenge of food waste tangible and manageable for your students. So sustainability isn’t an abstract idea, but an actionable practice they see and influence every day.
‘We don’t have to bring in salad ingredients from Spain’
MyGug is helping Bandon Grammar School create a true farm-to-fork circular economy. The fertiliser is used in the polytunnel to grow vibrant salad leaves and wildly delicious tomatoes that put any bland imports to shame.
The biogas is used to simmer an extremely rich and tasty chicken stock for canteen lunches. Beyond the kitchen, science classes visit the school’s MyGug to get an up-close look at anaerobic digestion in action. That’s how BGS is creating a conscious, educated community that’s committed to a sustainable future.
