- Benchmark performance against peer institutions and industry best practices.
Navoi State Pedagogical Institute has the agreement with local waste management company called “Navoi Stimul”. The waste which can not be recycled by our institute are taken on regular basis by this company for recycling process. (https://orginfo.uz/organization/941c570ef707/#google_vignette)
| Type of inorganic waste | Total Produced (ton) |
| — printed paper | 11 |
| — plastic | 3 |
| — metall | 0.4 |

| — Electronics | 0.5 |
| — Other Inorganic Materials | 1 |
NSPI always strives to treat inorganic waste on a campus by involving several strategies to manage, recycle, and dispose of materials safely and sustainably.

- Waste Segregation
Color-Coded Bins: Use separate bins for different types of waste (e.g., metals, glass, plastics).
Color-coded bins are placed across the campus to collect separately different types of waste (metals, glass, plastics) and labeled with clear signage to improve recycling rates.
- Recycling Programs
Partnerships: Collaborate with local recycling facilities to ensure proper processing of inorganic materials.
Navoi State Pedagogical Institute collaborate with local company called “Utilizatsiya uz” (https://utilizatsiya.uz/) which they pick up the waste produced by our laboratories .
Moreover, Waste Management Team of the institute runs awareness campaigns to educate the campus community about what can be recycled and how to do it correctly.
- Collection and Storage
There is a specific schedule for frequent pickups of recyclable materials to prevent overflow and contamination. (Navoi Stimul, Utilizatsiya uz)
Designated areas are available at campus to ensure that inorganic waste is stored in safe, = until it can be processed.
- Reuse Initiatives
Waste Management team organizes events to collect and donate usable items (e.g., electronics, furniture) and host workshops to teach skills for repairing items instead of discarding them.
- Education and Engagement
Moreover, the team offers sessions on the importance of reducing inorganic waste and the recycling process
and create programs that reward departments or individuals for effective waste management practices.
- Monitoring and Feedback
Regular audits are conducted to assess waste generation and identify areas for improvement.

Treating toxic waste on a campus requires careful planning and adherence to safety regulations. Considering that Navoi State Pedagogical Institute has implemented several strategies for managing and treating toxic waste effectively:
- Identification and Classification
All toxic substances and waste containers are clearly labeled to prevent accidental exposure.
- Waste Segregation
Designated containers are used for different types of toxic waste (e.g., chemicals, batteries, electronic waste) and implemented a color-coding system to easily identify hazardous waste.
- Safe Storage
Toxic waste is stored in secure locations, well-ventilated areas away from high-traffic zones.
- Training and Awareness
Waste management team provides regular training for staff and students on the hazards of toxic waste and proper handling techniques.
- Proper Disposal
NSPI has established partnerships with licensed hazardous waste disposal companies such as “Utilizatsiya uz”, (https://utilizatsiya.uz/) “Navoi Stimul”, (https://orginfo.uz/) “Zero waste”, ( https://orginfo.uz/) “Jizzah akumlator zavodi” (https://jaz.uz/uz ) for safe removal and treatment of toxic waste.
- 6. Monitoring and Auditing
Waste management team conducts periodic audits to assess the management of toxic waste and identify areas for improvement and maintain detailed records of toxic waste generation, storage, and disposal for compliance purposes.
Sewage Disposal
Proper sewage disposal on a campus is essential for maintaining hygiene, environmental safety, and public health. Therefore, NSPI has some methods to ensure effective sewage management:
- Sewage System Design
Sewage system of our campus is designed by the local company “Issiqlik manbai” (https://navim.uz/) to handle the volume of waste generated by the campus.
Designed system separates greywater (from sinks and showers) from blackwater (from toilets) for more efficient treatment.
- Regular Maintenance
Local company “Issiqlik manbai” (https://navim.uz/) conducts regular inspections of sewage systems to identify and address any leaks, blockages, or deterioration and schedule regular pump-out services for septic systems or holding tanks to prevent overflow.
- Wastewater Recycling
NSPI treat and reuse greywater for irrigation or toilet flushing, reducing overall water consumption.
Rainwater Harvesting: Collect rainwater to supplement water needs, reducing pressure on sewage systems.
- Public Awareness and Education
Academic staff of our institute educates students and staff about the importance of proper sewage disposal and hygiene practices. Moreover, they provide clear guidelines on what can and cannot be disposed of in toilets and sinks.
- Feedback Mechanisms
Waste Management Team conduct surveys to assess community awareness and satisfaction with sewage disposal practices.
