Waste management
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.
Together with the facility management, we work on waste prevention and separation strategies. For example, the separated garbage/recycling stations around the building and adopting reusable coffee cups like the Billie Cup. We also assist APV student housing and the City of Middelburg to promote proper waste-separation among students.
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.
