12.2.4) Policy waste disposal - landfill policy
Have a policy on waste disposal - to measure the amount of waste sent to landfill and recycled.
The waste treatment of TKU is based on the waste disposal law of Taiwan and complies with the ISO14001 environmental management system standard. Accordingly, we formulate campus general waste disposal and resource recycling practices, including "Campus Resource Recycling Management Rules," "Implementation Points for Recycling Waste Classification and Recycling," and other regulations to implement various resource recycling tasks and reduce the amount of waste. It is our task to recycle resources and achieve the goals of pollution prevention and pollution emission reduction. The garbage classification is as below:
1. General Waste: non-recyclable waste, such as carbon paper, wax paper, plastic glossy advertising paper, plastic-coated covers, outer envelopes, non-polluting waste, used toilet paper, etc.
2. Recyclable Waste:
● General Categories: iron cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, PET bottles, plastic bottles, aluminum foil packages, batteries, small household appliances, lamps, etc.
● Paper: newspapers, books, magazines, paper cups, packaging cartons, and non-greasy waste paper, etc.
● Used Clothes (individuals should recycle clothes through recycling vehicles or used clothes recycling bins outside the university).
● Styrofoam: instant noodle boxes and shockproof Styrofoam cushioning materials, etc.
● Plastic Bags: clean plastic bags of various materials.
● Food Waste (cooked food waste should be placed in the kitchen waste recycling bin of each building; raw food waste should be placed in the food court kitchen waste bin or disposed of as general garbage).
The school has set up resource recycling bins on each floor and outdoor garbage collection site. The general garbage collected is transported to the garbage collection site for compression treatment, and the resource garbage is sorted, categorized and then deliver to refuse incineration plant and resource recycling plant respectively. No waste is sent to landfill. The recycled waste must be measured by at the weighbridge before being transported out of the campus. The monthly data will be collected and sent back to the Center of Environmental Safety. The amount of the recyclables is measured by the recycler and reported to the Center of Environmental Safety.
