The “zero waste” strategy, which is fully in line with the University of Poitiers’ Sustainable Development Master Plan, is applied to three main areas: waste reduction, implementation of an ambitious sorting policy and the circular economy.
Faced with the ecological emergency of waste reduction, the University of Poitiers has embarked on an ambitious strategy to reduce waste but also to sort waste effectively for recycling or even to avoid producing certain types of waste altogether.
This is reflected in a whole series of measures:
The University of Poitiers also strives to be exemplary in terms of sorting:
Sorting also involves reuse. Whenever possible, the University will reallocate any furniture no longer be used by one part of the university to another part of the university. If reuse is not possible within the university Valdélia (a non-profit eco-organization approved by the Ministry of Ecological and Social Transition) will be contacted. Valdélia is responsible for the management and treatment of used professional furniture.
A resourcing/recycling center and a Repair café have been set up on campus for students including workshops on how to repair everyday objects.
