PAPER AND PLASTIC USE REDUCTION PROGRAM

Mardin Artuklu University supports a zero-waste system to reduce paper and plastic use in both internal and external operations. In this context, to reduce paper/plastic use in university units:

        1- Electronic documents should be widely used throughout the university.

        2- All internal and external documents should be managed by the Electronic Document Management System (EBYS) and Student Information System (OBS). 

        3- Thanks to EBYS, announcements and official correspondence should be carried out without wasting paper.

        4- Double-sided printing should be encouraged when necessary.

        5- Functional printers should be located in common areas, not in every office.

        6- When necessary, graduation theses/assignments should be submitted digitally in Word/PDF format.

        7- Announcement posters should be made digitally on social platforms, without printing.

        8- Documents should be recycled by passing through a paper shredder.

        9- MAU's policy of "Reduce plastic cups in canteens and dining halls" should be expanded.

        10- All academic and administrative staff should be served beverages in glass glasses.

In this way, the use of paper/plastic is prevented except in cases of necessity.
