Sustainability Website

Universitas Islam Riau (UIR) campus handles waste conventionally by placing it in waste sorting containers or other processing to reduce waste generation. The implementation of a sustainable campus at Universitas Islam Riau (UIR) entails the adoption of practices and regulations aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of the campus activities. Our campus incorporates various facets of sustainability.

Energy Efficiency

Our campus has made investments in energy-efficient technologies, including the installation of a rooftop solar panel in 2013, as well as other related infrastructure. We also employ energy conservation strategies to minimize electricity consumption.

Water Conservation

We implement water-saving fixtures and appliances in select areas of our campus as part of our water management system. In addition, we employ landscaping techniques that minimize water consumption, such as utilizing indigenous flora and employing drip irrigation systems like bio-pore penetration holes.

Waste Management

Separating organic and inorganic waste into different groups based on its type, amount, and/or nature is called sorting. The person who makes the waste is responsible for this. There are two main types of trash on campus: inorganic and organic. Organic trash includes things like plastic, leaves, food waste, and paper. The sorting process should be different for each type of trash. The UIR academic community has decided that the minimum selection should be split into two groups.

In the future, it could be split into five groups, depending on what is needed: organic waste, plastic waste, paper and cardboard waste, B3 waste, and residual waste. Followed by efforts to create complete and long-lasting waste management, teaching, campaigns, and rules about how important it is to sort trash have been put in place.

We implement a thorough recycling initiative called 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) to manage waste on campus. In addition, we execute composting initiatives for both food waste and landscape detritus.

To make waste management completer and more long-lasting, people have been taught, urged, and told by the government how important it is to sort trash.

3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

Waste policy refers to a set of principles, regulations, and guidelines that governments, organizations, and communities establish to manage and control the generation, disposal, and treatment of waste. The goals of waste policies typically include minimizing the environmental impact of waste, promoting recycling and reuse, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills, and ensuring proper disposal of hazardous materials. Here are some key aspects often addressed in waste policies:

Transportation Policy

We advocate for environmentally friendly modes of transportation, such as cycling and pedestrianism. In addition, we offer electric vehicle charging stations. We consistently promote the utilization of public transit among students and staff, as opposed to relying on private vehicles.

By integrating these elements into the campus environment, educational institutions can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future while also providing valuable learning experiences for our students.
