As part of the Zero Waste and Waste Management Activities initiated by our university's Sustainable Campuses Coordination on April 20, 2022, the first recyclable waste in Hacettepe University campuses started to be collected on May 24, 2022.
After a year-long, challenging effort, on May 24, 2023, Beytepe Campus was awarded the 'Basic Level Zero Waste Certificate' by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. Following the same efforts, on August 22, 2023, Sıhhiye Campus was also recognized with the 'Basic Level Zero Waste Certificate' by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change.
We would like to express our gratitude to all our administrative and academic staff, especially the building/unit waste coordinators, and our students for their dedicated efforts during this process. With the Zero Waste Certificates obtained through the efforts of Hacettepe community, the contributions to nature, the environment, and the economy will be sustained and enhanced.
