The University of Engineering and Technology (UET) has enforced a complete ban on the use of plastic and hazardous disposable items across all its campuses as part of ongoing institutional reforms.
Under the new policy, plastic bags thinner than 75 microns, styrofoam plates, food boxes, cups, plastic glasses, and other substandard disposable products are strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy has been implemented to ensure full compliance.
Clear instructions have been issued to all cafeterias, canteens, juice corners, general stores, and shops operating within UET premises. These outlets are required to immediately stop the use and sale of the banned items.
Speaking on the matter, Maryam Aurangzeb said that strict action will be taken against violators. She warned that heavy fines and severe penalties will be imposed on anyone found failing to fully implement the ban.
