University College Cork Has Been Named In A List Of The Top 10 Greenest Universities In The World
It's the only university in Ireland to be included in the top 10
The UI Green-Metric World University rankings for 2018 placed UCC at ninth best in the world for sustainability.
UCC has adopted a number of green initiatives over the years, including a plastic-free cafe, which has prevented more than 20,000 disposable items from going to waste since its introduction last year.
It also became the first university to be awarded a green flag in June 2016.
