The Green Campus Project will be officially flagged off at the University of Benin on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 in collaboration with the University of Benin and Natural Eco Capital, as the local implementing partner.
The project at UNIBEN became imperative given that plastic waste in higher institutions has become problematic and pose a serious environmental dilemma for inhabitants of university campuses and communities. Plastics decompose very slowly as average plastic bottle takes up to 450 years. So they tend to stick around if not recycled properly. Over time, plastics kill animals and harm human health.
