Our Approach
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Our waste management strategy follows the fundamental principles of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” We believe in minimizing waste generation, encouraging the reuse of materials, and promoting recycling to divert waste from landfills.
Waste Segregation
Proper waste segregation is the key to effective recycling. Learn about the different waste categories and the importance of separating recyclables from non-recyclables. Find tips on how you can implement waste segregation in your daily life.
Composting Initiatives
Organic waste constitutes a significant portion of our daily garbage. Discover how Green Campus is implementing composting initiatives to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost. Learn how you can contribute to composting efforts in your dormitories or common areas.
Recycling Stations
