Program Description
Andijan State Technical Institute implements a comprehensive inorganic waste management program to reduce waste generation, increase material recovery and promote a circular economy on campus. The program focuses on source separation, reuse, recycling and collaboration with licensed waste management companies to ensure environmentally sound treatment of non-hazardous inorganic waste.
During the current reporting year, the institute generated 418 tons of inorganic non-toxic waste, representing a reduction of 12 tons (2.8%) compared with 430 tons in the previous year.
The university applies the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (3R) through waste segregation, digital administration, paper reduction, awareness campaigns and cooperation with licensed recycling companies.
