Inorganic Waste Treatment – Last Year Summary

Last year, the total volume of inorganic waste produced amounted to 448 tons, consisting of various materials such as paper, plastics, and other non-toxic items. The treatment process focused on several key strategies to ensure efficient and sustainable waste management.

1. Reduction

Efforts were made to minimize the amount of inorganic waste generated. This included promoting digital solutions to reduce paper usage and encouraging the use of reusable containers.

2. Recycling

A significant portion of inorganic waste was recycled during the year. 325 tons of paper waste was processed through recycling initiatives, contributing to resource conservation and reducing landfill waste. Soft and hard plastics were also collected and sent to recycling facilities to be transformed into new products.

3. Reusing

The university encouraged practices that support the reuse of materials whenever possible. This included using recycled paper for internal documents and implementing programs that promote the use of refillable containers.

4. Down-Cycling and Up-Cycling

Some materials were down-cycled into lower-quality products, while others were up-cycled into higher-quality items. This approach extended the life cycle of materials and fostered creativity and sustainability within the campus community.

5. Education and Awareness

The university conducted educational campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of inorganic waste treatment. These initiatives encouraged students, staff, and faculty to actively participate in recycling and waste reduction efforts.
