State Unitary Enterprise “Makhsustrans” (Special Transport) has started processing organic waste. Work is underway with Green International on this project. For this, a land plot has been allocated near Tashkent. “Makhsustrans” (Special Transport) brings sorted organic waste from markets, restaurants and other facilities.
Here the waste is re-sorted, added to straw, leaves or special manure, collected in rows using German technology and dried within 6 weeks. The leaves are regularly mixed on a specially imported combine harvester from Germany. After six weeks, the ideal fertilizer is ready.

In particular, enterprises and organizations wishing to cooperate with the university must first of all accept the condition of non-use of paper and plastic products, after which a service agreement can be concluded between the university and the enterprise or organization. For example, the use of paper and plastic products on the territory of the university by all three enterprises (organizations) that cooperate with the university and produce and supply food products on its territory is prohibited by mutual agreement.
The work issued to university employees is distributed on the basis of a separate invoice and a justified document, which avoids unnecessary paperwork.
In addition, to reduce the use of paper, electronic document management was introduced among university employees. This is done through a single portal, av.ijro.uz. Even students can receive any document they own (payment agreements, certificates, etc.) through a separate electronic system.
