Waste paper recycling Mini-line
This project is a student startup.
Despite the development of electronic technologies, paper consumption is constantly growing. Separate collection of waste paper is still a problem, and its processing requires large volumes of collected secondary raw materials. In this regard, it is necessary to develop a processing technology for small volumes of collected raw materials at the place of its formation. Reasonable consumption, economy and processing of this material will help to realize the principles of sustainable development and save environmental resources.
EKTU has developed a waste paper recycling mini-line for small volumes of waste directly at the place of their formation.
The recommendations and schemes made can be applied in other universities, enterprises, and around the world.
EKTU takes care of saving this valuable resource. Separate waste collection has been introduced at the university for a long time. But the previously collected waste paper was transferred by the University for processing to a third party - the firm "Clear Sky". After the installation of the mini-line, processing will be carried out immediately on the territory of the university. This will also reduce the carbon footprint of the organization, since now the transportation of waste is not required.
