A brief description of the projects and how they contribute to understanding or advancing sustainability in relation to Waste:
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we offer selective waste collection options across all our buildings. We actively encourage members of the university community to participate in waste reduction initiatives and engage in proper sorting practices. This collective effort aims to foster a culture of responsible waste management within our diverse academic environment.
Responding to a student-led initiative, the Faculty of International Management's dormitory has implemented a composting system to actively promote sustainable practices. The system incorporates separate compostable waste bins on each floor of the dormitory, with regular collection and deposition of their contents into a dedicated compost bin.
The resulting compost, a product of this environmentally conscious initiative, has been utilized in collaboration with nearby kindergartens. The compost is employed for planting in the dormitory courtyard, creating a cyclical and eco-friendly approach that not only reduces waste but also contributes to the local community. This inspiring collaboration reflects the University's commitment to fostering student-led sustainability projects and creating tangible positive impacts in our immediate surroundings.
