The HR Club of the department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Business Studies successfully completed a creative initiative focused on sustainability by designing and producing eco-friendly pen holders on 13th and 14th of August 2025. This project was organized with the dual purpose of fostering student creativity and promoting environmental responsibility within the faculty.
The primary objective of this activity was to:
- Encourage students to develop innovative ideas while being conscious of environmental sustainability.
- Demonstrate the possibility of creating useful products from recyclable and biodegradable materials.
- Cultivate creativity, teamwork, and social responsibility among the members of the HR Club.
Members of the HR Club collected and utilized recycled and natural materials such as cardboard, bamboo, coconut shells, and biodegradable resources to create pen holders that are both functional and aesthetically appealing.
The process involved collaborative teamwork, idea generation, and hands-on crafting, allowing students to apply their innovative thinking in a practical context while also raising awareness about the importance of reducing waste and reusing available resources. The outcome of this project was a collection of unique and durable pen holders that not only serve everyday academic needs but also symbolize the club’s commitment to integrating green practices into student activities.
These eco-friendly pen holders were then sold to lecturers of the faculty, receiving positive feedback and appreciation, and the project also served as a small-scale income generation activity to support the future initiatives of the HR Club. This initiative has further strengthened the culture of creativity and sustainability among students, provided them with experiential learning opportunities, and set a positive example for promoting eco-friendly practices within the Faculty of Business Studies..
