As part of efforts to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12, “Responsible Consumption and Production,” the Department of Biostatistics and Fundamentals of Scientific Research has initiated separate collection of waste paper and plastic.
As part of the department’s student development activities, Head of Department A.Sh. Aimakhanova, lecturers A.K. Ashirbekova and D.S. Martykenova, and first-year Public Health students from groups ОЗ26-001 and ОЗ26-002 jointly organised the initiative to foster environmental awareness, social responsibility and respect for natural resources among students.
To implement the initiative, an agreement was signed with Ecosen, an organisation specialising in the separate collection of waste and recyclable materials. As part of this partnership, Ecosen provided dedicated bins for collecting waste paper and plastic.
The bins are located on the 4th floor of the academic building at 37a Zheltoksan Street.
Our first results: thanks to the active participation of students and staff, 115 kg of waste paper has already been collected and handed over for recycling since the start of the academic year!
Participation helps students put responsible consumption into practice in their daily lives and recognise their personal contribution to protecting the environment.
We invite all students, lecturers and university staff to take part in separate waste collection and use the bins according to their labels.
Environmental responsibility starts with simple actions by each of us!
