The BeviMI Project "takes off" on 13 October , the initiative that brings together the State University of Milan, the University of Milan-Bicocca, the Milan Polytechnic and the Italian Committee on the World Water Contract (CICMA) to promote the use of mains water, the reduction and recycling of plastic starting from the university classrooms.
Students from the State University and other partner universities will therefore be able, from 13 October, to download the new app on their smartphone , to use it every time they draw water from the dispensers present in the universities. In this way, with each withdrawal, the BeviMI app will measure the CO? avoided and the amount of new plastic saved in real time , a way to become aware of the impact on the environment generated by daily consumption choices. The app will also allow a virtuous 'challenge' between female students and students who are more attentive to their consumption.
On 13 October, from 12 to 14, each University will simultaneously promote events for the presentation of the BeviMI app at its offices. near dispensers and water houses, where students can also collect gadgets and water bottles.
In Statale , in particular, it will be possible to participate in the two launch and presentation events of the BeviMI app at the dispenser in via Festa del Perdono 3 (ground floor) and at the Casetta acqua in via Golgi 19 , where you can also collect a free bottle, previously booked , to start using the BeviMI app right away. The University will deliver a maximum of 300 water bottles per site.
On the occasion of the release of the app (13 October), an eco-compactor will also be installed in each University (in Città Studi for the State University), offered by Coripet, another partner of the BeviMI project, for the selective collection of PET bottles to be used for the production of R-PET bottles for food use, according to the principles of the circular economy.
At the end of the day, at 6 pm, it will be the turn of the round table, at the Centrale dell'Acqua in Milan and in streaming on all MM's social channels , which will see the presence of Cristiana Capotondi , who has been committed to promoting sustainable behavior for years , of the sustainability delegates of the three Universities (for the State University, Stefano Bocchi, professor of the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policies) and of the representatives of the Italian Committee on the World Water Contract, Coripet and MM on the interdisciplinary approach to sustainability for the promotion of responsible behavior capable of contributing to the ecological transition of the city of Milan.
Finally, during the round table,contents and methods of inter-university research, based on LCA analysis, on the impact of the different water supply chains (from the network or with plastic bottles) and of the different treatments of PET waste, as well as videos related to the BeviMI project such as the video tutorials on the BeviMI app and on the operation of the eco-compactors.
