“Throw it my way” pens recycling project is a long-term project strives for maximum waste recovery through recycling, and reuse pens and aims at zero waste to be disposed onto dump-yards and landfills. The long-term objective is thus to reduce the environmental degradation caused by solid waste.
Ultimate objectives of this project are;
- To reduce the plastic wastage through collecting used pens and allocate the revenue generated via this, pens recycling funds for the “Vikings Hands for Needy Fund”
- To encourage and increase the number of students involved in recycling firstly within our university then we hope to go beyond.
- To promote recycling of plastic by a small scale.
- To establish individuals and public awareness of environmental issues and impacts and find new solutions for that Last year we were able.
- To conduct the first phase of the project within the university.
We have planned to extend our project in schools,educational institutions and in companies as the next phase.
