Plastic Reduction Program in KMUTT
Building a Plastic-Free Campus Culture
Since 2015, KMUTT has committed to reducing single-use plastics — promoting a culture of sustainability that creates positive impact on campus life and the environment. From reusable mugs to fabric bags and personal food containers, the university empowers every student and staff member to make a difference.
Through concerted efforts, KMUTT has fostered strong environmental responsibility — setting an inspiring example for universities nationwide. Key initiatives include a 5-baht discount for personal mugs and containers, more than 20 "Please Reuse Me" bag corners, and 20+ drinking water refill stations across campus.
Three Flagship Programs
Campus Campaigns
Driving KMUTT toward a plastic-free campus — one habit, one person, one less plastic at a time.
Since August 2018
KMUTT Say No to Single-Use Plastic
A student-led initiative by the KMUTT Green Heart Student Club. The KMUTTOneLess Campaign inspires every member of the university to eliminate at least one BIG 4 plastic from their daily routine — creating a campus-wide movement toward sustainability.
One Less plastic — every day, every person.
Since 2019
Fabric Bag & Reuse Bag Campaign
All freshmen receive a fabric bag at the start of the year. More than 20 "Please Reuse Me" corners let students borrow bags across campus. In 2019, KMUTT achieved 60% reduction in plastics usage vs. the 2017 baseline.
Canteens, food courts, coffee shops, and convenience stores offer a 5-baht discount per use. Water quality at 20+ refill corners is tested monthly by the Central Laboratory and KMUTT Food Safety Center.
