12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse | 12.5.1 National recycling rate, tons of material recycled |
Recycle bins are found all over the campus. Plastic, aluminium and glass are separated at the point of disposal. Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) has introduced several campaigns to reduce the use of paper and plastic on campus, such as reduce use of plastic water bottles by providing free water distribution and reduce use of plastic bags by providing ALL freshman students with cloth bags. In addition, as an effort to reduce waste – from 9th August 2018, third party vendors (shops, restaurants and a hospital) were instructed to minimize handing out plastic bags and plastic food containers. The recyclable waste are sorted and transferred to appropriate recycle plants.
We can reduce plastic bags 196,082 pcs.
