UM giving waste a future
After several pilots, UM is ready to roll out university-wide waste separation this year. Starting from March, paper, plastic and general waste will be collected in separate bins in all buildings. Our goal is to shrink general waste flows to the bare minimum, and our motto is: ‘Use less. Recycle the rest’.
Waste sorting and recycling are in line with UM’s ambition to be a green university by 2030. Waste sorting helps reduce CO2 emissions.
After all UM-wide waste separation, and specifically cutting general waste from 55% to 40% of the total waste flow by 2021, will bring us a significant step closer to achieving that goal.
