In 2017, the HZ Green Office started to implement waste separation at APV campus in Vlissingen. The initiative was part of the 4th year course Sustainable Practice; business students kick-started the project, and followed-up and improved by another group of business students and eventually adopted by the HZ Green Office. APV housing welcomed the idea. Also the city of Vlissingen is very enthusiastic, since they are eager for pilots on waste separation, due to European legislation demanding every city to decrease the amount of waste produced from 400 kg per person to 100 kg per person. Campus Vlissingen also joined the project at the end of 2018.

Waste separation is strongly encouraged at the HZ. The HZ Green Office is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of proper waste separation and actively reducing the amount of waste that is produced on-campus.  


HZ Green Office has provided information material, such as posters, for student rooms. And a concept for a workshop on waste separation.
Together with the facility management, we work on waste prevention and separation strategies. For example, the {{External link|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01214|name=separated garbage/recycling stations|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}} around the building and adopting reusable coffee cups like the {{External link|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01213|name=Billie Cup|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}. We also assist APV student housing and the City of Middelburg to promote proper waste-separation among students.


Proper waste separation demands constant attention. Students that originate from many different countries (with differing customs on waste separation) live at APV. And every year a new group of students arrives at APV campus. This means that information on waste separation needs to be given every year to the new arrivals. So waste seperation at the campuses is a continuous project.
=== '''Student Initiatives and Community Support''' ===
In 2017, HZ students took the initiative to start waste-separation in APV student housing in Vlissingen. This project was later expanded by other student groups and eventually adopted by the HZ Green Office. The initiative is supported by the City of Vlissingen, helping them work towards the European legislation goal of reducing waste from 400kg to 100kg per person annually.  


Another initiative taken by business students is to separate frying oil at student houses.

==== Current projects ====
Through our waste-management activities, we are actively contributing to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
* '''Waste separation''' at the student accommodation locations APV and Campus Vlissingen
** In collaboration with the municipality of Vlissingen
** Active role in informing the students of how to separate their waste through posters and organizing workshops
*** <u>We are looking for students that would like to give these workshops or perhaps have an idea of their own on how to better inform the students on the waste separation procedures</u>
* '''Cooking oil collection''' at student accommodation locations
** We are looking at how to stimulate the collection of cooking oil and ways of how to collect and dispose of it
** 2 barrels currently at APV and Campus Vlissingen


* '''Pen Collection'''

* We all use writing utensils on almost a daily basis. These are used and then thrown away, each of these utensils being made of hard-to-recycle material. However, a company called TerraCycle has taken the incentive to collect and recycle these utensils. TerraCycle is an innovative recycling company found around the world. They are currently a global leader in recycling, mainly the hard-to-recycle waste. For each country there is a variety of programs that one can participate in. In the Netherlands they are partnered with BIC to collect pens. https://www.terracycle.com/nl-NL
 
* '''How does it work?'''
** With a, box one can start collecting pens and then ship it to TerraCycle. If the box weighs more than 20kg, every writing utensil earns a TerraCycle Point that is equal to €0.01. For this program, one can collect any ballpoint pen, fountain pen, highlighters, markers, and mechanical pencils are all accepted, regardless of brand or material, both plastic and metal. The HZ Green Office has been doing said pen collecting for a couple of years now, but this year we intend on creating more awareness about it and expanding to the location in Middelburg.   How can you help?   Have any old pens you’d like to get rid of? Drop them off in Vlissingen at the HZ Green Office or by the Cafe 
 
* '''Return of the good old mug'''
** We want to stimulate the use of mugs and reusable bottles within the HZ University.
Want to help us with these projects? Or do you have a new idea on the topic of waste management?
