Waste management has always been a priority in the sustainability development roadmap of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). The University spares no effort to promote a waste-less culture and reduce waste generation through different initiatives. It has also implemented new measures to deal with waste while minimizing its impact on the environment. In light of this, a waste audit was performed recently which was a systematic procedure to review the University’s daily operations and subsequently, waste generation. The results have enlightened PolyU to volume what could be recycled, what could be reused, and what can be eliminated.
