Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna (RMUTL) promotes efficient and responsible management of food waste from university cafeterias as part of its commitment to sustainable development and SDG 2: Zero Hunger. Students, staff, and food-service operators are encouraged to separate waste at the source.
Food waste from university cafeterias, including food scraps and leftovers, is separated and collected appropriately. Suitable organic waste is managed for use as animal feed, helping reduce food loss and maximize the value of leftover food resources.
In addition, plastics and containers from the cafeterias are separated from food waste for reuse or recycling. This approach helps reduce waste, prevent contamination, and improve the efficiency of recycling processes.
Through these practices, RMUTL demonstrates its commitment to reducing food loss, using resources efficiently, and promoting sustainable food systems. The initiative also raises awareness of food security, responsible consumption, and sustainable resource management across the university community.
