At UW/H there is the following system of waste separation: In the offices there are paper bins with an insert for other waste such as packaging, residual waste or organic waste. The paper waste is emptied as usual, the rest of the waste must be separated and disposed of yourself (for example in the tea kitchens).

Tip: The rubbish bins in the cafeteria at the dish return have a pedal at the bottom, which makes contactless rubbish disposal possible.

• Plastic: Cups (e.g. yoghurt cups), polystyrene trays, plastic bags, plastic bottles (e.g. washing-up liquid, detergent, juice bottles).
• Metal: Beverage and food cans, lids and caps of jars.
• Composite packaging: Beverage cartons, coffee vacuum packs
