During 2012, a Clean Point was implemented at the Rep\u00fablica Campus open to the community with a capacity to receive 20 types of materials. This clean point between 2017 and 2020 managed to recover 168 tons of recyclable material generated both within the UNAB community and by the surrounding community. In the case of Campus Casona for the same period, it is estimated that 22 tons of waste were recovered.<\/p>\n

As part of the Sustainability Strategy, the university is currently in the process of conducting a comprehensive diagnosis and solid waste management plan to improve solid waste management at the different UNAB campuses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

UNAB currently has clean points at 5 of its campuses: Antonio Varas, Bellavita, Creativo, Rep\u00fablica and Vi\u00f1a del Mar, which are operated by external companies and receive more than 20 types of waste. In the near future, Campus Casona and Concepci\u00f3n will also have their own clean points.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Thanks to a partnership with the company Pa\u00f1iwe, we have campaigns for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment at our Casona and Rep\u00fablica campuses. <\/p>\n

This project will help us to contribute to the valorization of products considered a priority by the MMA law 20.920 and we hope that the entire UNAB community will join and collaborate with this important campaign.<\/p>\n

Products that can be deposited:<\/strong> cell phones, tablets, chargers, cables, irons, kettles and others.<\/p>\n

Prohibited products:<\/strong> batteries and other non-electronic\/electrical waste.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
