Smart environment, aiming for a “carbon neutral university”

Comprehensive biomass management center Turn waste into energy

Within Chiang Mai University, there is a large community in the area, including students, professors, and staff. Therefore, there must be a lot of garbage generated. which is extremely challenging for management

.

In this regard, waste management of CMU is operated by a comprehensive biomass management center. which transforms solid waste within the university into amazing energy Whether it is giving importance to separate trash bins and campaign for students and staff to separate waste and leftover food in the cafeteria. That was the beginning of creating awareness of waste separation among CMU residents, leading to comprehensive solid waste management without waste with the concept of Zero Waste, meaning reducing the amount of waste from the beginning. In order to leave as little waste as possible for disposal until it becomes zero. Not only that

Comprehensive biomass management center It also turns waste into reusable energy by producing compressed biomethane gas, or CBG, which is used to produce electricity for use at the university. and can also be used as fuel for use in CMU public vans.

.

In addition, CMU also places importance on sustainable environmental management. To be consistent with being a carbon neutral university under the My Waste, My Responsibility campaign, whoever creates waste is responsible, as in the past tradition of welcoming new students up the mountain. There will be an official designated meal break point. And there are 11 garbage disposal points along the way so that participants can practice their behavior. according to the correct method. In addition, we also ask for cooperation from drink sponsors. Use beverage packaging that can be returned to the recycling process. After the activity ended, there were aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. There is a campaign to choose to use packaging boxes. Food made from natural materials, such as sugar cane boxes instead of plastic boxes. Those types of waste are separated. will be managed according to the correct processing process
