Dear Staff and Students,
The University of Mauritius is pleased to reinforce its commitment to environmental sustainability through the ongoing Eco-Bins Initiative on the Réduit Campus.
In collaboration with our partners, 20 sets of trio-bins dedicated to plastic bottles, beverage cans, and general waste have been strategically installed across the campus to facilitate proper waste segregation and maintain a clean environment.
Why Waste Segregation Matters
Proper waste management plays a vital role in:
- Reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills;
- Preventing environmental pollution and protecting soil and water;
- Conserving natural resources and energy;
- Supporting recycling and the transition towards a circular economy.
Good Practices (Do’s)
- Empty bottles and beverage cans before disposal;
- Dispose of waste in the appropriate bin (plastic or cans);
- Flatten large bottles and cans to save space.
Practices to Avoid (Don’ts)
- Do not leave liquids inside containers;
- Do not place non-designated waste in eco-bins;
- Do not litter around the bins.
Our Collective Responsibility
Every small action contributes to a bigger impact. By adopting simple habits such as reducing, reusing, and recycling, we can collectively build a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable campus for all.
We kindly invite all members of the University community to actively participate in this initiative and support responsible waste management practices.
