Solid and Toxic Waste Management
Waste treatment and recycling activities are among the main factors in creating a sustainable environment due to the large number of wastes that is produced on campus. Accordingly, waste treatment programs must be among the university interests, thus, the university recommends:
Waste treatment and recycling activities are among the main factors in creating a sustainable environment due to the large number of wastes that is produced on campus. Accordingly, waste treatment programs must be among the university interests, thus, the university recommends:
- Collecting data related to the quantity and type of solid and toxic waste generated on campus.
- Establishing organic and inorganic waste sorting projects and benefiting from them
- Forming teams of volunteers (students, staff and faculty members) to assist in the waste management plan
- Activating the tasks of environment-friendly committees
- Building and developing the capabilities of university staff, who are especially located in the Diwan Affairs Department, in the field of integrated waste management
- Educating employees and students about the use of an official policy for dealing with paper and plastic, such as (placing guiding advertisements to rationalize the use of paper to reduce consumption, and raising awareness on the harms of using plastic and paper cups, etc.)
- Cooperating with the Diwan Affairs Department in preparing containers of different colors (blue, red, yellow, green) to help in the waste sorting process, and to develop a program that treats a specific part of the waste
- Activating the mechanism for storing and disposing of toxic waste by applying waste sorting technique with the help of the relevant authorities inside and outside the university
- Recycling wastewater in cooperation with the relevant authorities and finding solutions to benefit from it.
- Maximizing the university resources by benefiting from solid waste revenues (paper, cardboard, metal and plastic cans, etc.).
One of the important projects in this pivot is the project to produce environmentally friendly, biological, and organic fertilizers.
This project aims to produce environmentally friendly nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilizers from university animals and plants’ wastes after converting them into organic and biological fertilizers. The project is educational and training, especially for postgraduate students. It encourages them to do such projects after graduation. Different species of bacteria and fungi are used in the production of biofertilizers, such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Blue green algae, and Mycorrhiza
One of the projects to produce environmentally friendly organic fertilizers and the treatment of agricultural wastes is the production of organic fertilizers from the residues of the Conocarpus plants to be used later in the growth and production of horticultural plants. Such organic fertilizers are good and free of chemical additives that raise the level of salts in the soil. They also improve the quality of the agricultural product by reducing the level of nitrates that negatively affect human health. Finally, they benefit from the pruning residues of these trees and limit the growth of their roots.
Track Two
Energy Management
Our university is expected to increase great efforts in raising energy efficiency in its buildings and in taking more care of nature and energy resources using energy-saving devices, the adaptation to climate change, or through adopting the policy of using renewable energy, energy conservation program, green buildings, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This can be met through:
- Using modern methods to conserve energy
- Using modern methods for smart buildings through the installation of sensors for water taps, self-extinguishing of lighting, etc.
- Determining the types of energy used in the university
- Specifying the amount of electrical energy consumption
- Establishing green buildings
- Using clean energy
- Measuring carbon dioxide emissions (Co2).
Therefore, the university recommends for improvement the following:
- Implementing procedures to ensure energy efficiency in all new projects and buildings.
- Gradually applying energy efficiency standards in existing buildings by directing procurement committees to provide economic equipment.
- Working with academics to use their expertise to solve problems and implement effective solutions.
- Raising the awareness of students and employees and holding workshops to train them.
- Installing sub-meters for faculties to measure energy use and determine consumption and saving points.
- Directing the Construction and Projects Department to prepare a study on the consumption of electric energy in the university formations and on the transition to alternative energy.
- Installing meters to measure the electrical energy consumption of each formation in the Jadiriya campus in detail.
