Campus bans single-use plastics
Effective Term 2 of Academic Year 2020-2021, DLSU is banning the use of single-use plastics on campus, following the approval of the General Policy on Ecological Management of Solid Waste by the Chancellor’s Council.
Chancellor Br. Bernard Oca FSC announced the ban via a Helpdesk Announcement last January 13. As most of the campus operations are still on a work-from-home scheme and classes are fully online, regular reminders will be issued to the community via the HDA, the website and official social media platforms.
The Campus Sustainability Office enjoins everyone to support the ban on SUPs and start reducing the use of plastic wastes while at home. Small actions help save the natural terrestrial habitats as well as the aquatic and marine environments from plastic pollution, it pointed out.
