Most of our daily household waste can be recycled. Our paper, plastic, glass and metal waste are valuable resources that can be reused to create new materials. All EU countries have learned to recycle waste and reuse its valuable resources. Austria itself recycles more than 1M tons of packaging and waste paper per year. That's about 90% of the overall packaging waste (ARA, 2018). Such a high recycling rate is only possible thanks to a proper household waste separation.
The packaging recycling rate of student dorms is clearly below the national average. Is this because students don't care about recycling or because the waste separation system is inefficient? Why are Home4students dorms in Innsbruck separating paper, plastic, glass and metal waste so badly? Why are there only organic and unrecyclable waste bins in our dorms' kitchens? Wouldn't it be better to also have paper, plastic, metal and glass bins?

Reason
If you are in favor of a better waste separation system in your kitchen dorm, which allows you to separate paper, plastic, glass and metal properly, sign the petition. You can also sign it if you don’t live in a student dorm but you want to support the petition. If you are not in favor or you have better ideas to improve waste separation in student dorms' kitchen drop a comment.
I personally believe that if the system gives us students easy ways to separate waste, we will do it.
