Policy for minimisation of plastic use
BINUS University takes a proactive stance in supporting the environment through its policy for the minimization of plastic use. This strategic initiative aims to reduce plastic consumption and mitigate plastic waste. The university actively engages students and employees in this eco-conscious effort through consistent socialization campaigns. To facilitate proper waste disposal, BINUS University provides designated plastic waste bins and implements programs like “Binus Asyik Tanpa Plastik” (Binus is Fun Without Plastic) and “Be-Green.”
The impact of these initiatives is evident in the data on plastic waste reduction. In 2022, the weight of plastic in landfills significantly decreased compared to previous years. The average monthly plastic waste, which stood at 27kg from 2019 to 2021, saw a notable reduction to 18kg in 2022. This success underscores BINUS University’s commitment to sustainability and the tangible outcomes of its plastic minimization efforts.
