Paper Reduction Programs at KMUTT
KMUTT’s Path to a Paperless Campus
Since launching its paper reduction program in 2016, KMUTT has pursued a bold goal: to become a fully paperless campus. By harnessing digital platforms for government documents, learning materials, and administrative processes, the university has transformed how students and staff access information, communicate, and complete tasks.
In 2025, students download handouts and past exam papers on the e-Learning website, manage academic records via KMUTT’s blockchain system, and submit assignments through Google Drive and OneDrive. Reducing paper saves time, cuts costs, and minimizes environmental impact — advancing KMUTT’s vision of a smart and sustainable university.
