The college sorts waste at source into biomedical, chemical, metal, plastic, and paper waste using color-coded containers. Hazardous waste is also treated in collaboration with specialized, licensed entities to ensure safe disposal in accordance with environmental standards.<br \/>\nThe college seeks to promote the concept of sustainability by reducing the use of single-use materials, digitizing medical and administrative records, and encouraging the recycling of paper, plastic, and metals. These measures are part of the college&#8217;s commitment to implementing the principles of the circular economy and environmental responsibility, supporting sustainable development goals and academic excellence.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7330 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/?attachment_id=7335'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/477655739_122226065456068592_1245361080876189153_n-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"477655739 122226065456068592 1245361080876189153 n 1 150x150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/477655739_122226065456068592_1245361080876189153_n-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/477655739_122226065456068592_1245361080876189153_n-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/477655739_122226065456068592_1245361080876189153_n-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/?attachment_id=7336'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476643039_122226065054068592_4883744552968920253_n-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"476643039 122226065054068592 4883744552968920253 n 1 150x150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476643039_122226065054068592_4883744552968920253_n-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476643039_122226065054068592_4883744552968920253_n-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476643039_122226065054068592_4883744552968920253_n-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/?attachment_id=7334'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476611332_122226065036068592_1148848716740114443_n-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"476611332 122226065036068592 1148848716740114443 n 1 150x150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476611332_122226065036068592_1148848716740114443_n-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476611332_122226065036068592_1148848716740114443_n-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/476611332_122226065036068592_1148848716740114443_n-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standard Three: Waste, Treatment, and Recycling The College of Dentistry attaches &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7330","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7330"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7410,"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7330\/revisions\/7410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/den.qu.edu.iq\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
