Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime implements an innovative solution to address food waste. The food waste, which amounts to 5mT in year 2021/2022, is being utilized effectively. By converting this waste into composite fertilizers, it not only reduces environmental impact but also promotes sustainability. The recycling of these fertilizers to grow the landscape on all campuses is a commendable initiative that helps create a closed-loop system. This practice not only minimizes waste but also contributes to the beautification and maintenance of the university's surroundings. It serves as an excellent example of how institutions can actively participate in waste reduction and sustainable practices.

Clean up, Recycle and Upcycle

The active involvement of the university's workers in collecting food waste on a daily basis is crucial to its success. The dedicated efforts of these workers play a vital role in ensuring that no food waste goes to waste. Their commitment to collecting and segregating food waste not only helps maintain cleanliness and hygiene but also enables an efficient recycling process. By diligently gathering the food waste, they contribute to the sustainability goals of the university and support the production of composite fertilizers. Their hard work and dedication demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and serve as an inspiration to others within the university community.
