It is all the rage to sort your rubbish. Many of the country’s municipalities have a scheme, including Copenhagen. But Denmark\u2019s largest university is, at some faculties, a slacker when it comes to waste sorting.<\/p>\n

Although the University of Copenhagen aims to become a green and sustainable university that recycles 50 per cent of all waste in 2020, not all faculties sort their waste.<\/p>\n

I think the options are pretty poor. There are none for glass, metal, and bottle\/can deposit returns.<\/p>\n

Student Mette Nybo Bonde<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On South Campus, the options for waste sorting are hard to spot:<\/p>\n

At the fakultetstorvet square, where humanities people congregrate every day to eat lunch, there are several \u2018omnivorous\u2019 black bags and smaller trash bins. And bio-waste, plastic, and other types of residual waste are all chucked, pell-mell, into the same bins when lunch is over.<\/p>\n

And it adds up to a lot of trash: The University of Copenhagen produces each year more than 4,000 tonnes of waste.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI don’t really understand why they do not have waste sorting out here,\u00ab says Camilla Klang, who is studying English. She is in the coffee shop M\u00f8destedet, drinking a coffee to go and eating a panini from a brown paper bag. When she has finished eating, the paper bag, the paper cup, and any leftovers are all lobbed in the same direction.<\/p>\n

Celebrity comes to the rescue<\/h3>\n

Two students of comparative literature share Camilla Klang\u2019s bemusement. Niclas Clausen has chucked his cardboard container with soup residues from today’s lunch in one of the waste bins in the student caf\u00e9. The same goes for all the other waste.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI would sort if I had the opportunity,\u00ab he states. His fellow student Simon Pedersen has deliberately reduced his trash by purchasing a reusable plastic container.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI find the options pretty poor. There are none for glass, metal, and bottle\/can deposit returns,\u00ab says Mette Nybo Bonde, who is studying musicology.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbA fellow student and I once had to throw out a glass frame that had broken, and we didn\u2019t have the foggiest idea what to do with it.<\/p>\n

Then this Danish celebrity who is known as \u2018Gulddreng\u2019 happens to drop by with his dog and asked if he could help us, because he could see that balancing with all the glass was dangerous,\u00ab she says. They politely turned down his offer, but they never actually found a glass container:<\/p>\n

“We ended up just leaving it somewhere near campus.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Pilot project in motion<\/h3>\n

S\u00f8ren H\u00f6ffner, head of operations at South Campus, says that the operations secretariat and the Campus Service unit have jointly launched a pilot project at the CSS campus to clarify how a university environment can start sorting at the source. The task is bigger than just setting up waste stations in various units, he explains:<\/p>\n

\u00bbIt is not a question of setting up one or two bins, but hundreds of them.\u00ab<\/p>\n

And before they can be set up everywhere, many questions remain to be answered, says the operations manager. Who should collect the garbage? Is it to be classified as an employee resource? How big a volume of waste are we talking about in the different categories? And are there yards and storage places that have to be modified? (The answer is yes!)
\n
\n\u00bbWe are working closely with Campus Service to clarify how we can find a solution which will allow staff and students to get rid of their waste in a proper way that is also economically feasible,\u00ab\u00a0 says S\u00f8ren H\u00f6ffner and adds:<\/p>\n

\u00bbInvestments are needed if the University of Copenhagen is to have a greener profile.\u00ab<\/p>\n

The pilot project has a sensible budget at the moment, according to H\u00f6ffner, so the operations team are testing waste volumes etc. It is on this basis, that a more robust solution is to be copied to all three parts of South Campus.<\/p>\n

Students and staff can (maybe) look forward to to being able to sort waste in the course of a year, according to the operations manager.<\/p>\n

And bio-waste, plastic, and other types of residual waste are all chucked, pell-mell, into the same bins when lunch is over.<\/p>\n<p>And it adds up to a lot of trash: The University of Copenhagen produces each year more than 4,000 tonnes of waste.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI don’t really understand why they do not have waste sorting out here,\u00ab says Camilla Klang, who is studying English. She is in the coffee shop M\u00f8destedet, drinking a coffee to go and eating a panini from a brown paper bag. When she has finished eating, the paper bag, the paper cup, and any leftovers are all lobbed in the same direction.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_83680\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83680\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-83680 size-narrow\" src=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734-990x660.jpg 990w, https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9734.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-83680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camilla Klang studies English<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Celebrity comes to the rescue<\/h3>\n<p>Two students of comparative literature share Camilla Klang\u2019s bemusement.

His fellow student Simon Pedersen has deliberately reduced his trash by purchasing a reusable plastic container.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI find the options pretty poor.

The task is bigger than just setting up waste stations in various units, he explains:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is not a question of setting up one or two bins, but hundreds of them.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>And before they can be set up everywhere, many questions remain to be answered, says the operations manager. Who should collect the garbage? Is it to be classified as an employee resource? How big a volume of waste are we talking about in the different categories? And are there yards and storage places that have to be modified? (The answer is yes!)<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Image","image":{"ID":83673,"id":83673,"title":"DSCF9727","filename":"dscf9727.jpg","filesize":152794,"url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727.jpg","link":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/hvor-er-de-groenne-affaldsspande-paa-soendre-campus\/dscf9727\/","alt":"","author":"70","description":"","caption":"","name":"dscf9727","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":83103,"date":"2019-03-27 10:48:56","modified":"2019-03-27 12:56:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1643,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-480x374.jpg","medium-width":480,"medium-height":374,"medium_large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-768x598.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":598,"large":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-1280x997.jpg","large-width":1280,"large-height":997,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1197,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727.jpg","2048x2048-width":1643,"2048x2048-height":1280,"featured-soft":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-290x226.jpg","featured-soft-width":290,"featured-soft-height":226,"featured-hard":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-290x180.jpg","featured-hard-width":290,"featured-hard-height":180,"narrow":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-700x545.jpg","narrow-width":700,"narrow-height":545,"extended":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dscf9727-990x771.jpg","extended-width":990,"extended-height":771}},"style":"narrow","text_placement":"metadata-below","image_link_url":"","image_link_title":"","caption_prefix":"Bio-waste","enable_alternative_caption":true,"alternative_caption":"All ending up the same place.
