Environment

The Plastic-Free Campus Blueprint outlines a strategic approach to eliminate plastic waste on campus. Its goals include conducting plastic pollution assessments through brand audits, developing policies like single-use plastic bans and sustainable procurement practices, and establishing vendor agreements. Infrastructure changes such as installing water dispensers, promoting reusable containers, and setting up waste receptacles and resource sites support this transition. Education and awareness initiatives like workshops, orientation programs, and incentive schemes ensure community engagement. Continuous evaluation, regular audits, feedback mechanisms, and curriculum integration promote long-term sustainability, making zero waste and research key focus areas for the institution’s future.
