The aim of the project is to improve the waste management system at the university by introducing separate collection and delivery of waste to recycling organizations in Bishkek. At the 1st stage, 偶蜜国际传媒 has already begun to collect 3 types of waste separately for recycling - waste paper, plastic and electronic waste (waste from computer and office equipment). At the end of March, it's planned to hand over the first collected waste for recycling.
The project is implemented by the Center for the Study of the Environment and Development (CED) together with the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) and Physical Plant Department (PPD).

"Our center believes that these efforts will lead to more sustainable consumption in our community. We are planning further development of this initiative into a long-term activity with the support of dedicated 偶蜜国际传媒 members and partners. Therefore, we ask you to join us and become a part of the "Green 偶蜜国际传媒"!", says Nurzhamal Karamoldoeva, Executive Director of the CCE.
"Unfortunately, at the moment most of the household garbage in our country is not recycled. And we can't fundamentally change the situation with garbage yet, but we can start to change the situation for the better and help in practice here at 偶蜜国际传媒. And to start with a small step is to collect paper, plastic, and waste from computer/office equipment separately at the university because this is also our common home, where we spend a lot of time every day. And then hand over for recycling what can be recycled in Kyrgyzstan," says Margarita Lazutkina, coordinator of the Green 偶蜜国际传媒 project, PR specialist of the CED.
Based on the results of the initial waste analysis at 偶蜜国际传媒, as well as conversations with environmentalists and waste processors in Kyrgyzstan, it became clear that it is necessary to use the existing boxes for separate waste collection in a slightly different way on the 偶蜜国际传媒 campus.
*** Wasted听office paper, as well as newspapers, old books should be put in a large cardboard box "PAPER WASTE" next to printers near the technical support office / IT Support on the 2nd floor (room 242).

*** Plastic bottles must be put in red boxes marked "ONLY for plastic bottles" (they stand on all 4 floors).
*** The yellow boxes, where the 鈥淔ood" sign used to be, and the green boxes are now designed to collect general garbage, except for office paper, plastic bottles, and food leftovers 鈥� they now have a sign 鈥淥ther Waste: ANY waste, EXCEPT FOR bottles, office paper, and food waste鈥� (they still stand on all 4 floors).
*** Electronic waste must be put in a cardboard box marked 鈥淓lectronic waste鈥�, which is located next to ATMs opposite the technical support / IT Support office on the 2nd floor (room 242).

*** Batteries must be handed over to the office of the PPD (Physical Plant Department; office T14).
*** All food waste must be delivered to the Kitchenette in the dirty dishes reception unit.
We appeal to the 偶蜜国际传媒 community: join this initiative and help us confirm and strengthen the status of 偶蜜国际传媒 as a "green university" and the leader of the educational sphere of Kyrgyzstan!
