Inorganoc Waste treatment 

National Chiayi University Inorganic Waste Treatment Processing Flow

1. Collection and Initial Classification:

The university places recycling bins in suitable locations in each building or campus area.

Contains: scrap iron, tin can, plastic waste, PET bottles, aluminum cans, cartilage aluminum, stainless steel, waste lighting illuminant, cable, battery, glass, electronic waste, and others.

2. Daily Collection:

Staff collect waste daily from various collection points and transport it to the recycling field.

3. Further Classification:

Staff further sort the general waste at the recycling field to ensure recyclables are fully classified.

The Property Management Division regularly organizes ownerless bicycles every semester, and those second-hand bicycles are released to faculty and students to claim without charge; the unusable bicycles will be handed over to resource recyclers for recycling iron metals.  

4. Resource Recovery and Reuse:

Every month, government-certified recycling merchants weigh and purchase these inorganic wastes.

The recyclers then sort the materials and resell them to factories for remanufacturing.

5. Environmental Improvement Fund:

Money earned from resource recycling is allocated to the Environmental Improvement Fund, which is intended for campus environmental enhancement and infrastructure for addressing climate change.

6. Furniture Repair and Reuse:

Damaged furniture is repaired by Discarded furniture recycling plant/Creative design studio.

Discarded tables, chairs, electronic products, and instruments are sorted and reconditioned by the administrative department staff and then auctioned publicly.

Outdated computers from the IT department are announced to the entire university, allowing departments in need to claim them, fulfilling the goal of reducing, recycling, and reusing.

Furthermore, the university develops relevant projects for electronic waste containing precious metals, rare earth elements, and waste batteries in compliance with government recycling regulations. After these items are collected, they will all be handed over to the Environmental Resource Center on National Cheng Kung University for the most complete recycling process. Through the annual environmental resource seminar, relevant information will be conveyed to users and citizens to raise users and citizen awareness of e-waste collection and recycling.
