Policy Waste Disposal – Hazardous Materials
BINUS University is deeply committed to sustainable waste disposal practices as part of its dedication to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Guided by Rector’s Decree No. 0136A (Part II, Points P, S, T), the university applies the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling to all resource usage, including waste disposal and wastewater management. A key example is the reuse of treated wastewater from campus buildings for watering plants, which reduces reliance on fresh water and promotes water conservation. The university’s policy on hazardous waste management aligns with government regulations, ensuring that both liquid and solid waste are managed in accordance with legal standards to minimize environmental harm. This includes various initiatives aimed at environmental preservation, such as preventing pollution of water, air, and soil, as outlined in Point T. In support of these policies, BINUS has implemented several water conservation strategies, including regular plumbing maintenance, promoting water-saving habits, and utilizing treated wastewater for garden irrigation and toilet flushing. These efforts not only conserve water but also contribute to the university’s broader goal of creating a cleaner, healthier environment. The policy on hazardous materials management, detailed in the Rector’s circular No. 1660A/REK/IX/2023 titled “Pengelolaan Sampah dan Limbah Berbahaya,” ensures that hazardous materials are separated from regular waste and managed through designated processes, compliant with national regulations, and handled by authorized vendors specializing in hazardous waste disposal. Through these comprehensive waste management practices, BINUS University upholds its commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible resource management.
