There are 23 paper waste collection boxes located throughout the campus, each with a capacity of 8 liters. This paper waste is collected by a recycling company, helping to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and contributing to a circular economy. In addition to paper waste, the university is also working to responsibly manage biohazard waste generated by the health clinic. Approximately 1 kilogram of this waste is collected each month and is treated through incineration in a furnace, which turns it into ash that is then safely disposed of in a landfill. By implementing these sustainable waste management practices, the university is taking important steps towards achieving SDG 12 and creating a more sustainable future. To calculate the total monthly recycled waste:
23 paper boxes for waste with capacity of 8 Ltr.
Amount of waste recycled = 23 * 8 = 184 Ltr monthly.
