It's no mystery that the environmental aspect is an important element of social responsibility initiatives which usually develop organizations that pursue socially respectful behavior, and that together with economic and social aspects form what called triple bottom line , perhaps popular with particular relevance to the mid-nineties by John Elkington through of his book Cannibal with Forks.
But in the realm of universities, social responsibility not just be content to implement process recycling on their campuses to comply with this aspect of socially responsible behavior, but as far as possible should also add value to meet other facets of the RSU, in this case training, innovation, entrepreneurship and knowledge transfer, which for example Forética also recommended for companies in the case of innovation.
Thus, at the University of Antofagasta in Chile are developing an exciting project that brings together all these aspects of urban solid waste through Initiative UA-RECYCLE which further provides the usual rubbish bins to recycle waste, develops an interesting bet for innovation and entrepreneurship through the "worm" for composting with organic waste to be recycled, using crop of worms who are in charge of turning waste into compost.
In this way, universities can not only educate the university community and general public in implementing campus trash bins that allow sorting and recycling waste, but can also develop exciting initiatives using its main asset: knowledge .
