D. Serikbayev EKTU for several years implementing a policy of separate waste collection, including plastic waste. Since 2020 an electronic waste recycling line has been created on the basis of Center of Excellence "VERITAS". Computer and office equipment, out of order and beyond repair, is going from the university here. After removing all the parts from it, the housings remain. They are made of ABS plastic. It is a thermoplastic material and is processed by thermal regeneration. This plastic has strong differences from others in recycling technology, as it contains toxic components and belongs to the fourth category of danger. But it can be recycled, so it must be sorted and sent for recycling. Secondary ABS plastic is added to the raw material for the manufacture of various products, except for the food industry.

This year D. Serikbayev EKTU is the partner of the project "3,2,1 start!". The aim of the project is to attract people to the separate collection of plastic for its subsequent processing.

ABS plastic accumulated in the first half of 2023, through the efforts of employees of the Technical Support Department of the Department of Information Technology and the Laboratory for the processing of Electronic Waste of the Center of Excellence "VERITAS", was sorted, partially crushed, and within the framework of the project was also transferred for recycling.
