The training was designed specifically for HEC and universities across Pakistan to build awareness, enhance capacity, and foster environmentally responsible practices in managing electronic waste.
Executive Director HEC, Dr. Mazhar Saeed attended the opening session as chief guest. He emphasised the importance of effective knowledge of e-waste management among the officers and staff of HEC and universities.
Expert trainers engaged for the activity shared detailed presentations on e-waste and its sustainable management, environmental impact, regulations and international agreements.
