Each year, Linköping University Summer Academy – at which international students from partner universities spend a month in Linköping, Sweden – purchases pillows, towels and bedding for the participants. In previous years, hundreds of products went to a recycling station after the participants left. In 2022, a sustainability initiative called the Pillow Project was initiated, with the aim of reusing everything and creating starter kits that new students can buy for an affordable sum.
