At Yessenov University, special waste separation bins have been installed across the campus to collect paper, plastic, glass, and other recyclable materials separately for proper recycling and reuse. Yessenov University promotes actions in minimizing environmental impact from the use of paper and plastic. Both paper and plastic production have significant environmental consequences, from resource extraction and manufacturing to waste disposal. Thus, YU has a 5-year contract with a local company which gathers paper and plastic waste coming out from Yessenov University. This action works quarterly, and every 3 months there is a delivery service from YU. It is also important to note that a graduate student of Yessenov University came up with the idea of collecting paper and plastic.
This initiative is part of the university’s broader commitment to building a green and sustainable campus and fostering an environmentally responsible culture among students and staff.
The university regularly organizes environmental awareness campaigns, workshops, and student-led eco-projects to promote waste reduction and recycling practices.
Collaboration with local waste management companies ensures that all sorted materials are properly recycled, reducing the overall amount of waste sent to landfills.
Through the Zero Waste Campus initiative, Yessenov University aims to minimize waste generation, encourage conscious consumption, and inspire the university community to take collective action for a cleaner, greener future.
