Events and Projects

Ilma University Students Led a Coastal Cleanup and Creative Recycling Initiative at Sea View, Demonstrating Their Commitment to Sustainability. About 20 Students Participated, Collecting Beach Waste to Reduce Pollution and Promote Recycling, While Enhancing Environmental Awareness. This Hands-on Effort Supported Several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), Including SDGS 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 11 (Sustainable Cities), 12 (Responsible Consumption), 14 (Life Below Water), and 15 (Life on Land) . This Initiative Reflects Ilma University’s Dedication to Fostering Environmental Stewardship and Community Well-being.


Ilma University Has Introduced the From Waste to Care Campaign to Address Food Waste and Aid Underprivileged Communities and Street Animals. The Campaign Collects 50 Kg of Surplus Food Daily From Weddings and Hotels, Repurposing It Into 150 Kg of Safe, Consumable Food for Those in Need. This Initiative Underscores Ilma’s Commitment to Social Responsibility and Sustainability, Transforming Waste Into Resources to Support Both Human and Animal Welfare.


In Line With Its Commitment to Environmental Sustainability , ILMA University Recently Hosted a Workshop on Recycling Aimed at Raising Awareness and Fostering Green Practices Among Students, Faculty, and Staff. The Event, Held at the Main Campus, Attracted a Large Audience and Featured Experts in Waste Management, Environmental Science, and Sustainability. The Workshop Began With a Comprehensive Overview of the Environmental Impact of Waste and the Importance of Recycling in Reducing Pollution and Conserving Resources. Speakers From Environmental Organizations and Waste Management Companies Shared Insights Into Various Recycling Processes, the Types of Materials That Can Be Recycled, and How Individuals Can Contribute to a Cleaner, Greener Planet.

Participants Were Introduced to Practical Recycling Methods and Best Practices for Sorting and Disposing of Different Materials, From Plastics and Metals to Paper and Electronic Waste. The Session Also Covered the Broader Benefits of Recycling, Including Its Role in Reducing the Carbon Footprint and Promoting Sustainable Urban Development. In Addition to Informative Presentations, the Workshop Included Interactive Sessions, Where Participants Had the Opportunity to Engage in Hands-on Activities Like Creating Upcycled Products From Waste Materials. This Provided a Creative and Practical Way for Attendees to Understand the Potential of Recycling in Everyday Life.

ILMA University is Committed to Promoting a Culture of Sustainability, and This Workshop is Part of the Institution’s Ongoing Efforts to Integrate Environmental Education Into Its Programs. The University Continues to Invest in Green Initiatives, Including Waste Reduction, Water Conservation, and Renewable Energy, Aiming to Create a More Sustainable and Eco-friendly Campus.
