12.2.6 Policy for minimisation of disposable items(2022)
The university's policy to minimize the use of disposable items adheres to the government's regulations on disposable products (https://hwms.epa.gov.tw/dispPageBox/onceOff/onceOffHp.aspx?ddsPageID=EPATWH) and is an integral part of the ISO-14001 management system under the university's Environmental Protection Health and Safety Policy. The university prohibits campus restaurants from providing disposable plastic straws, utensils, and cups for single use, and does not offer single-use plastic bags for takeout. Through advocacy, the university encourages all faculty, staff, and students to avoid using disposable products in their daily lives. Additionally, the university has proactively purchased environmentally friendly cups, providing them free of charge to each faculty and staff member for use in meetings and daily work.
