Campus Food Waste

  • The Amount of Food Waste

    Universitas Sumatera Utara has led efforts to manage food waste with effective and sustainable strategies throughout its campus environment. From lecture buildings, cafeterias, to hospitals, food waste is collected and managed wisely. A third party is involved in collecting this food waste, which is then used as feed for pets or as material for cultivating maggots. USU's Temporary Waste Storage Facility is a collection center, where waste management officers take over and supervise the subsequent process. In addition, the USU Green Campus program is an important milestone in managing various types of waste, including food waste. This approach reflects USU's strong vision and commitment to creating a campus that is environmentally friendly, sustainable and has a positive impact on the surrounding environment.

The method of processing food waste through the use of maggot larvae as the main decomposer, as well as as a source of feed for livestock, including pigs, reflects a holistic approach in utilizing resources. In addition, wood waste and leaves from road sweepings are used as raw materials for making compost, strengthening USU's commitment to creating an environmentally friendly campus. With these steps, this university not only acts as a superior educational institution, but also as a green campus that cares about the environment in sustainable waste management practices.
