Natural urea forms during the decomposition of vegetable and fruit peels:

By composting vegetable and fruit peels in soil, University produced natural that is further use to fertilizer the plants

Inorganic Waste :

  

The Department of Civil Engineering retrieves non-organic construction and renovation waste for reuse. These materials are repurposed in laboratory experiments and industry collaborations, promoting sustainability and resource efficiency, while contributing to academic research and practical applications within the field of civil engineering.
