Waste Management
Waste Management

With nine campuses serving 20,000 students and nearly 800 employees, the University is mindful of the significant waste generated within its community. While the waste processing service provider may not provide precise data on the quantity of waste, we gauge its magnitude based on contracted amounts. Our experience suggests that the collected waste often falls below the contracted quantity. Nevertheless, considering the distinct nature of academic periods and breaks, we remain committed to ensuring proper waste management throughout the year, accounting for variations in waste distribution.

In line with our commitment to sustainability, we offer selective waste collection options across all our buildings. We actively encourage members of the university community to participate in waste reduction initiatives and engage in proper sorting practices. This collective effort aims to foster a culture of responsible waste management within our diverse academic environment.

Distribution of Waste

A notable portion of our waste at the University is derived from municipal sources, highlighting the varied nature of the materials we handle. However, electronic and hazardous waste constitutes a minimal proportion of our overall waste output. To ensure the proper and responsible management of these specific waste streams, we have established effective partnerships with service providers specializing in the handling and disposal of electronic and hazardous waste. This strategic approach reflects our commitment to managing waste streams with precision, emphasizing sustainability and environmental responsibility across diverse waste categories.

Composting

Responding to a student-led initiative, the Faculty of International Management's dormitory has implemented a composting system to actively promote sustainable practices. The system incorporates separate compostable waste bins on each floor of the dormitory, with regular collection and deposition of their contents into a dedicated compost bin.

The resulting compost, a product of this environmentally conscious initiative, has been utilized in collaboration with nearby kindergartens. The compost is employed for planting in the dormitory courtyard, creating a cyclical and eco-friendly approach that not only reduces waste but also contributes to the local community. This inspiring collaboration reflects the University's commitment to fostering student-led sustainability projects and creating tangible positive impacts in our immediate surroundings.
