12.3.1 Waste tracking

In 2025, Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) measured the amount of waste generated and recycled across the whole university, covering both of its campuses, Prasarnmit in Bangkok and Ongkharak in Nakhon Nayok. Waste is recorded every month by campus and by type, and the results are reported on the university’s SDG Sustainability Dashboard, which is publicly accessible online.

The dashboard records five types of waste, each with its own management route:

1) general waste, sent to landfill

2) hazardous and infectious waste, sent for incineration

3) food waste, used as fish feed

4) recyclable waste, sold for recycling

5) agricultural waste, used for composting

In 2025, SWU generated a total of 3,340.67 metric tonnes of waste. Of this, 167.45 metric tonnes (5.0%) was recycled, consisting of 93.88 tonnes of recyclable waste, 58.58 tonnes of agricultural waste turned into compost, and 14.99 tonnes of food waste used as fish feed. A total of 3,134.82 metric tonnes (93.8%) was sent to landfill, and 38.40 tonnes (1.1%) of hazardous and infectious waste was incinerated.

SWU SDG Sustainability Dashboard: Waste Management, 2025

The waste management page of the SWU SDG Sustainability Dashboard shows waste data for 2025 (B.E. 2568) for all campuses. It gives the total amount of waste generated, the amount of each waste type, monthly figures, a comparison between Ongkharak and Prasarnmit campuses, and a monthly record table. The page was accessed on 2 November 2026.
