Innovative Paper Recycling Initiatives at the Kehl University of Technology
The University of Public Administration, located in the picturesque town of Kehl, has taken an unusual yet commendable step towards sustainability. The institution has initiated a project aimed at giving new life to old paper that would otherwise be discarded due to updates.
The project, spearheaded by the alumni office of the university, involved finding a meaningful and attractive way to reuse thick volumes of administrative regulation collections. This endeavour was reminiscent of the peace movement's demand to turn swords into plowshares, symbolising the university's commitment to environmental responsibility.
The project did not involve any advertisements and did not require any monetary compensation. Instead, it required a Staatsanzeiger subscription to subscribe to topics and save articles, a small price to pay for the environment, many might argue.
The craft competition, open to students, aimed to find a creative use for old paper. The winners were awarded at the summer festival by the first chairman of the association of friends and former rector of the university, Paul Witt.
Ella Heider, a student at the university, won first place with her sculpture "The World of VSV". Kathrin Kirchgeßner came in second with her "Orchids" made of paper, while Pauline Wenczel and Daniela Schilling shared the third place with their respective designs "Sloth" and "Heart of Wedding Flowers".
The project demonstrated the fruitful cooperation of generations in implementing the recycling idea, proving that the administration is not necessarily unable to part with paper, as is often accused. It also underscored the university's dedication to fostering creativity and sustainability among its students.
While specific details about this competition might not be readily available online, it is clear that such initiatives form a part of broader sustainability initiatives at the University of Kehl. The university's faculty focused on public administration is committed to promoting environmentally friendly practices, both within the institution and in the wider community.

The management of the University of Public Administration, in collaboration with students, has launched a home-and-garden lifestyle project aimed at creatively repurposing large volumes of administrative regulations. This project, consequently, demonstrates the university's commitment to sustainability and fostering creativity among its students.
