RSU Gestion Plan

Imágen reciclaje

Wastes (USW) that relies on the reduction, reuse and recycling of this kind of wastes. With this aim, the university areas are provided with the suitable resources to allow for the separation of the different kind of wastes by the university community: large outdoors containers placed in clean points, indoor containers in common areas, waste paper baskets for the selective collection in offices and administration units, and urban furniture for the collection of special wastes (tonner, batteries, compact discs, etc.).

On the other hand, the project is intended to trigger the participation of users by means of institutional campaigns set to establish a culture of responsibility in the university community on the basis of the efficient use of the resources available to achieve this objective. Within this framework, the University of Oviedo has launched a website devoted to recycling (http://www.uniovi.net/recicla), with relevant information for all users. Specific training courses on recycling issues have been organized for the administration staff of the university, which has a key role in order to meet some of the objectives of the programme.

In addition, the management plan also engages the companies in charge of the different services affecting the objectives of this programme: cleaning, waste management, gardening, university canteen, maintenance, etc. Timing, coordination and planning are a must in order to success in this ambitious programme.

Project funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports and the Government of the Principality of Asturias in the framework of the Campus of International Excellence
