BINUS University has a formal policy aimed at reducing plastic waste, as stated in the Rector’s circular No. 1564A/REK/IX/2023, titled “Gerakan Ramah Lingkungan: Pengurangan Plastik Dan Barang Sekali Pakai.” This policy was introduced in response to growing environmental concerns and reflects the university’s strong commitment to sustainability.

The initiative encourages the academic community to adopt sustainable practices, such as bringing their own reusable containers like tumblers and shopping bags, to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. Additionally, employees who have access to pantry facilities are advised not to request disposable utensils when ordering food from outside vendors.

As a follow-up and implementation of this policy, Binus actively organizes activities to engage students, faculty, and staff in environmental efforts. Notable examples include the PKM Soulcial program, which focuses on community service with an emphasis on environmental sustainability.

These collective efforts foster a strong culture of environmental awareness and responsibility, aiming to significantly minimize plastic waste on campus and promote greener habits across the entire university community.
