Seminar on Waste Less – Green the campus

How can we reduce waste generation on campus? A seminar on bringing a waste-less culture on campus and moving towards the effective use of resources at campus events and activities was held on 25 March 2019 under the Green PolyU Awards – Green Office programme Phase 3.

The seminar introduced the proposed MSW charging scheme and a Waste Reduction Guidebook for large scale event organizers to all attending participants. PolyU’s current waste and recyclables management practices and generation rate were explored. Success cases in organizing green events were shared, and participants were encouraged to implement waste reduction best practices when organizing events and activities across different scales.
