SDG 14: Life Below Water
Action Plan to Reduce Plastic Waste
The SDGs Thematic Community Service (KKN) team from Universitas Diponegoro held the TPST Day event at the UPT K3L UNDIP facility under the theme “Optimization of UNDIP’s TPST as an Educational Platform for Circular Economy and Zero Waste Management.” The event involved 36 students from five teams showcasing the outcomes of their community projects. It also served as an educational forum on sustainable waste management for the university community and surrounding residents. Through this initiative, UNDIP reaffirmed its commitment to transforming waste management into circular economic opportunities and advancing its vision of a sustainable, zero-waste campus.
This initiative is aligned with the Rector’s Regulation of Universitas Diponegoro Number 5 of 2023 on Waste Management, which mandates an integrated, environmentally friendly, and participatory system across all academic and administrative units. The regulation emphasizes the reduce, reuse, recycle (3R) principles, segregation of waste at source, and the transformation of waste into resources. By implementing TPST Day, UNDIP operationalizes this regulation through education, research, and community involvement, positioning the TPST UNDIP as a living laboratory for sustainable campus management and a model of circular economy practices in higher education.
