UNEC has supported the “Let’s change each paper to a leaf” project implemented on the occasion of the 95^th anniversary of the nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev.

UNEC joined the project which was realized with the initiative of the public association IDEA, founded by the Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva, with the slogan “Green University”.

Nezaket Isayeva, the representative of the public association IDEA, who spoke to the academic-teaching staff and the students of UNEC noted that, the goal of the project was to protect trees, protect the environment, and maintain ecological balance by reducing paper waste and promoting recycling. At the same time, the campaign also promotes the prevention of environmental pollution and the proper use of waste.

The official of the organization expressed gratitude of the public association IDEA to the UNEC staff for the special activity in such projects.

The pro-rector of UNEC for Economic Affairs, the associated professor Mikayil Zeynalov, said that the university attached the importance to environmental projects and emphasized the special attention paid to the propaganda work provided among the employees on this issue. The pro-rector underlined that, the use of paper in the university had been minimized in connection with the transition to the Electronic Document Circulation, which is the part of UNEC’s “Electronic university” model.

At the end, the UNEC staff handed over 12 tons of paper waste for recycling to the Paper and Cardboard Manufacturing Plant of “Azersun Holding”.
