‘This is a great opportunity for our Student, Staff and Campus Community to get more involved in recycling both at University, at work and at home’
– Professor Nozliya Normurodova, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation, TSUULL University
TSUULL opens up a dialogue with the Student Community to raise awareness on green issues coming up every day at the place we live, we work and walk. We will look at a variety of colorful up-cycled objects made from different materials and show how discarded cardboard, aluminum and plastic can be used again to create a new object which is both durable and hard wearing.
Sourcing materials and producing the clothes are the most polluting parts of a fashion supply chain — this industry being responsible for 8-10% of all carbon emissions. During our public talk we’ll discuss how to reduce the consumption of clothes and make this process more eco-friendly, and, moreover, how to buy second-hand clothing more responsibly.
Participants will learn more about sustainable materials, reduction of water and energy consumption with small steps and risks of the fast-fashion industry.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12 or Global Goal 12), titled ‘responsible consumption and production’, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. The official wording of SDG 12 is ‘Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns’ which calls for a comprehensive set of actions from businesses, policy-makers, researchers and consumers to adapt to sustainable practices.
