Waste is collected in color coded bins, green for wet waste and blue for dry recyclable wastes, which are managed appropriately and periodically by housekeeping staff. University prohibits the use of plastic plasticware such as glasses, spoons etc. in the campus. Single use plastic is banned in the campus. Awareness signages are also provided at various locations of the campus.

Paper Bag Distribution activity in various states of India
It's great to hear about the initiative taken by LPUNSS volunteers to raise awareness about the environmental issues caused by plastic bags. Using handmade paper bags made from newspapers is an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags, and distributed them in more than 20 states of India is a commendable effort to reduce plastic pollution. This initiative is a positive step towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
