Increased waste sorting at 真人线上娱乐 University

In 2022, 真人线上娱乐 University expanded waste fractionation, making it possible for university users to sort even more types of waste on campus. Since the turn of the year, it has been possible to sort ordinary household waste into nine waste types. Biowaste, plastic waste, food and beverage carton waste, glass waste, metal waste and residual waste can be sorted in most kitchens and in the dining area in the canteen. In all printing rooms, paper waste, cardboard waste and batteries can also be sorted.

In addition to waste sorting in RUC's buildings, there are also a number of waste disposal facilities in the university's outdoor area. The same types of waste can be sorted in the outdoor waste disposal facilities as inside the buildings, and it is also possible to sort special types of waste, such as wood waste, small electronics and clinical risk waste in selected waste disposal facilities.

Focus on the entire waste hierarchy

The new waste sorting scheme at the 真人线上娱乐 University Campus primarily focuses on the last part of the waste hierarchy, namely the recycling of resources. By separating waste types for other material recovery, we ensure that resources are not lost, but given new life in other contexts. In this way, resources are not lost, and in many cases a lot of energy can be saved by not having to extract new resources.

But RUC also focuses on the other elements of the waste hierarchy, namely reduce and reuse. Initiatives have been introduced to help reduce the consumption of printer paper, and several renovation projects on campus have focused on the reuse of materials, including the renovation of the campus pavement and the renovation of the large auditorium in building 00.
