Have a policy on reducing plastic waste on campus
1. Faculty-Level Green Campus Recognition
The Faculty of Science and Technology received a Green Campus Initiative Award as reported in the university’s official faculty news. This supports the faculty’s engagement in the broader institutional sustainability agenda but does not independently demonstrate a quantified reduction in plastic use.
2. Student Innovation for Waste Management
Students from the Informatics Engineering programme at FST developed an AI-based waste collection robot designed to detect and collect waste, including plastic bottles. This demonstrates relevant academic innovation, although operational deployment and measurable plastic reduction at FST are not established by the article alone.
3. Institutional Evaluation and Implementation Challenges
A university-level evaluation discussed the need to support single-use plastic reduction, particularly plastic bottles, with adequate drinking-water facilities. This identifies an implementation consideration for strengthening the policy’s effectiveness.
4. Faculty of Science and Technology
The official FST website reported that the faculty received the award for Best Green Campus Management at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University. This achievement provides evidence of the faculty’s engagement in institutional environmental sustainability initiatives. However, the award is not treated as direct evidence of plastic reduction unless the relevant award criteria or accompanying documentation specifically establish this connection.
5. “KILAS SEHAT” eco-friendly living campaign
[KILAS SEHAT] “Eco is not just a choice it’s a lifestyle!” The earth does not ask to be saved in dramatic ways; it is enough to start small but stay consistent. Single-use plastic is a big no, while a tote bag is a yes. Plastic bottles are replaced by a tumbler, and plastic straws by eco-friendly stainless steel straws. There is no need to wait to become an environmental hero to care for the earth; it is enough to be the best version of ourselves by choosing consciously and wisely, because every small step can be the beginning of a big change for the future of the earth.
