As part of ITU's commitment to sustainability, we sort our waste to reduce the use of resources through recycling and to promote greater awareness of waste reduction.
Successful recycling depends on all of us. By sorting waste correctly, we help ensure that valuable materials can be recycled. If waste is sorted incorrectly, an entire container may have to be sent for incineration, meaning both the recyclable materials and the effort invested in sorting are lost. If you are ever unsure where an item belongs, please ask a fellow student.
Our goal is to recycle as much of our waste as possible. As recycling technologies and practices continue to evolve, the guidelines for waste sorting will be updated regularly to reflect the most effective methods.
Sorting at ITU
Waste sorting is important, and guides are available in all student kitchens. You can also find the guide here.
In the student kitchens you will find sorting stations for plastic/beverage- and food cartons/metal, food waste and residual waste.
Please help each other sort waste correctly and empty containers of excess food or liquids where possible.
In the printer rooms you will find paper trash cans. Waste sections that are not sorted in the kitchens or printer room - such as cardboard, glass, electronics, hazardous waste - can be sorted in room 0C02.
The sorting stations are cleaned daily, and waste is emptied regularly. Thank you for helping us keep the waste areas clean and well.
