Waste Tracking and Management at UEH

11 Oct, 2023

With the primary goal of applying the 3R model (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), building a waste-free university, creating a green campus, and providing a clean, beautiful, and fresh learning environment for students, faculty, and staff, "UEH Green Campus" is the pioneering project for green and sustainable living at UEH.

"UEH Green Campus" introduces innovative solutions that prioritize the implementation of the 3R model (Reduce – Reuse – Recycle) in waste classification and treatment, as well as the application of technology in education and communication methods. The project places users at the center to better understand its benefits and promote a circular economy. Additionally, it aims to spread awareness, inspire, and change the mindset and behaviors of the younger generation.

With efforts to implement the project in 2023, the project has conducted waste audits at its campuses and achieved the following results:

STT	CAMPUS	A	B	V	N	DORM 1	DORM 43 - 45	TOTAL
	WASTE	WEIGHT (kg/year)
1	ORGANIC WASTE	5088	14316	5906	17508	12720	5724	61262
2	RECYCLE WASTE	3406	4157	2262	21253	3466	4595	39139
3	LANDFILL WASTE	7664	22075	3062	29692	8077	7823	78392
4	HAZARDOUS WASTE	1200	10500	2700	60000	900	1200	76500

At UEH, the focus is on an effective waste sorting process at the source to optimize the amount of waste that can be recycled through the following recycling waste circular system:

After implementing such a system in 2023, UEH has recovered a large amount of recyclable waste as follows:
