NOVA FCSH established a partnership with the Associação Electrão | Confiar para Reciclar by joining the “Todos pelo IPO” campaign, with the aim of promoting the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
For this purpose, an eco-island was installed on the 1st floor of Tower B with three containers for depositing batteries, small equipment, and lamps.
The correct recycling of equipment reduces the amount of electronic waste harmful to the environment and human health. The action mobilized the academic community and raised awareness of the importance of recycling and the proper disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, also helping to promote better healthcare provision by supporting the IPO.
In total, through this partnership with Associação Electrão | Confiar para Reciclar, 1952 kg of electrical equipment waste was collected, with household appliances being the most collected equipment.
This initiative contributes directly to target 12.5 of SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production.
