Total volume organic waste produced (ton)

The organic waste at Chiayi University primarily comes from seven main sources: waste edible oil, food waste, paper, dead branches and other wooden waste, fallen leaves, and other plant waste.  The staff collects the waste and brings it to the recycling center. Trash inside the recycling bins is sorted by category and placed in the designated recycling areas. General waste is further sorted by the staff.  In 2023, the total amount of waste on campus was 124.34 tons, of which the organic waste amounted to 99.65 tons, in addition to the standard waste collection, sorting, recycling, and reuse procedures. National Chiayi University has specifically developed and implemented plans for agricultural waste, aiming to achieve a comprehensive waste reduction, reuse, and recycling (3R) approach.
