Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) has implemented an institutional Policy on Plastic Waste Reduction to minimize the use of single-use plastics and promote sustainable consumption practices across all campuses. The policy establishes principles and actions to reduce plastic pollution, encourage reusable and recyclable alternatives, and raise environmental awareness among students, staff, and visitors.

Through this policy, KTU aims to contribute to global sustainability goals by reducing plastic dependency, supporting waste segregation and recycling, and integrating sustainable material management practices in procurement and daily operations.
