Zero Waste and Compost Unit

Organic waste collected from three dining halls on the university campus is converted into organic fertilizer within the framework of recycling projects at the Compost Unit. The unit, which was transferred to our university by Hayrat Municipality as part of the Zero Waste Project, was activated after installation and renovation.

Organic waste from the three dining halls at the Kanuni Campus is collected daily by staff and processed. Click here for the news.
