This initiative goes hand in hand with the decision made in 2018 to avoid using cups made of that material, and is part of the EcoTips campaign for sustainable consumption.
In line with this goal, the plastic cutlery currently provided in the cafeteria will be phased out on July 1, 2019. Starting on that date, compostable cutlery will be provided free of charge for one month. After that period, the cafeteria will offer compostable cutlery for sale.
ORT began this journey with a recycling campaign and then took it a step further by working to prevent waste generation, following the 3R rule (reduce, recycle, reuse).
The ORT Recicla team works to raise environmental awareness in order to bring about change, educate people about environmental issues, and foster the ability to analyze the current situation.
To achieve this, the team launched the EcoTips campaign for sustainable consumption, which offers ideas for consuming more responsibly: from bringing your own lunchbox or water bottle, to printing double-sided or choosing products with less packaging.
