THE UNIVERSITY of Antique has implemented a ‘No Plastic’ policy to help promote sustainability on the campus grounds.

The policy is part of its “Bring ALong with U for NAtures Nurture” program that aims to reduce the use of single-use plastic.

Beginning May 3, the University banned plastic food containers, encouraging its community to turn to “green” alternatives.

Under Officer Order No.04-33 of the UA Office of the President, the university laid down new rules for business enterprises, students, parents, guardians and visitors.

Violators of the policy face a string of penalties including a fine of P500, revocation of lease agreement for business enterprises and black listing of students.

Guardians, parents, and visitors will also be penalized if caught violating the policy.
