Pharos University in Alexandria (PUA) launched a unique initiative that brought together the Faculty of Dentistry and the Faculty of Arts and Design, aiming to encourage students’ innovation in environmental sustainability and recycling. This aligns with PUA’s vision to foster environmental awareness and social responsibility within the campus.

The initiative sought to highlight the importance of transitioning towards “green dentistry” by adopting environmentally friendly practices, reducing reliance on harmful materials, and developing ideas that contribute to minimizing medical waste and reusing resources in innovative ways. This step underscores the depth of thinking regarding sustainable practices within scientific disciplines.

Students from both faculties participated by presenting several creative projects, which ranged from artworks using recycled materials to awareness posters and artistic sculptures conveying environmental messages in an expressive artistic style, reflecting the commitment of both students and the university to seeking innovative environmental solutions.
