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.
