Plastic waste is not only difficult to decompose or biodegrade, plastic waste that is eaten by animals such as fish will eventually be consumed by us in the form of microplastics. This is certainly dangerous both for the environment and for ourselves.

UNY supports the Instruction on the Single-Use Plastic Packaging and Plastic Bags Prohibition in the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Number 1 /M/INS/2019. UNY support, among others, through the procurement of drinking water tumblers for UNY lecturers and educators. In addition, UNY provides dispensers indoors and outdoors so that UNY residents can access drinking water without causing disposable bottle waste.
