Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us.
As part of our sustainability and responsibility goals, we want to enable waste recycling on our campuses. So please sort your waste, thank you!
There are easily accessible sorting points on campus for plastic, carton, metal, glass, paper, mixed waste and biowaste. There are also separate containers for bottles and cans. There are also separate recycling points for batteries and electrical and electronic waste. Clear instructions are given on how to use the containers to make sorting easy. Please note that there are therefore mainly no “bins” in the classrooms. Instead, you will find sorting points in corridors and stairwells, for example. Larger sorting points can be found at the main doors. Ask the campus caretakers for more information on recycling if you need it.
How do I recycle?
Examples:
Takeway coffee cup -> cardboard and carton Handkerchief -> mixed waste Snack bar -> plastic Snack drink can -> cardboard and carton Snack bar -> plastic, metal and cardboard
Larger items of waste (e.g., furniture, electronics) can be taken to municipal waste sorting stations. Usable items should be taken to local flea markets or donation points, such as Keräämö, SPR Kontti, or Fida. Usable clothing, shoes, bags, and home textiles can be donated to collection points such as SPR, UFF, or Pelastusarmeija, while unusable and worn textiles should be sorted separately for textile waste collection.
