Recycling

At the Collegio we aim to change our procedures in order to reduce the use of disposable items and replace them with durable and compostable items through:

  • decreasing the use and waste of disposable plastic, especially at coffee breaks and lunch seminars.
  • buying recycled toner cartridges, and sending our used toner cartridges to be recycled. According to a study based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, this will reduce CO2 emissions by 50%.
  • considering alternative ways for disposing of packaging materials.
  • providing information about environmentally responsible practices: REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE

Each of us can...

  • use reusable shopping bag.
  • use a reusable mug for your coffee or tea.
  • print is energy-intensive, so print only pages we need.
    - print paper on both sides of the sheet.
    - download ECOFONT, that uses up to 20% less ink. Free to download, free to use. http://www.ecofont.eu/ecofont_en.html
    - instead of throwing away printed paper use the backs for making notes.
  • use the recycling containers.
  • suggest actions and/or improvements to reduce the environmental impact of the Collegio in the area of Recycling.
