The initiative encourages the campus community to sort waste correctly into general waste, recyclable materials (such as paper, plastics and cans) and organic waste for composting. Supporting this, <strong>recycling bins are strategically placed across campus<\/strong>, enabling students and staff to conveniently sort waste at source. Through engaging outreach, practical tips and consistent reminders, RAKSA empowers individuals to adopt responsible disposal habits, making segregation simple, visible and actionable.<\/p><p>Complementing these efforts is the <strong>Paper Recycling Project<\/strong>, launched in July 2022, which promotes paper reduction, reuse, and responsible disposal practices across the university. To date, the project has successfully collected over 11 tons of printed waste for recycling across two cycles, with plans to continue expanding this initiative as part of our broader environmental sustainability goals.\u00a0<\/p><p>Together, these initiatives go beyond infrastructure\u2014they shape behaviour, build awareness and cultivate a campus culture where sustainability becomes second nature. More importantly, they contribute directly to UBD\u2019s 2030 target of diverting 50% of total waste away from landfill, advancing the university\u2019s journey towards a circular, low-waste campus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54d405d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"54d405d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc0ccf4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc0ccf4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>UBD Waste Management Workflow<\/strong><\/h5><p><strong>So, what actually happens after you throw something away at UBD?<\/strong> Behind the scenes, a well-coordinated system ensures that every piece of waste is managed responsibly\u2014from disposal to final treatment, as illustrated in the workflow diagram<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cead422 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cead422\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainability.ubd.edu.bn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-Copy-of-UBD-Waste-Management-Workflow-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1365\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainability.ubd.edu.bn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-Copy-of-UBD-Waste-Management-Workflow-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sustainability.ubd.edu.bn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-Copy-of-UBD-Waste-Management-Workflow-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sustainability.ubd.edu.bn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-Copy-of-UBD-Waste-Management-Workflow-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sustainability.ubd.edu.bn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-Copy-of-UBD-Waste-Management-Workflow-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sustainability.ubd.edu.bn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-Copy-of-UBD-Waste-Management-Workflow.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c07a532 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c07a532\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>1.
