Assessment and development of the selective waste collection at the University of Miskolc

Abstract

The importance of a selective waste collection system cannot be underestimated in today's economy. It can be seen as a principle of individual and social responsibility to reduce some of the pollution caused by over-consumption. Selective waste collection is an important pillar of circular economy, but there are still many sceptics and unwillingness to do so in Hungary. There are many ways to reduce this phenomenon, but without physical selective collection points, the system will unfortunately not work. The aim of this publication is to assess the location of these collection points in the University of Miskolc and to propose ways to improve their distribution.
