NTU 's Regulations for Campus Plastic Reduction
To respond to the call for plastic reduction, National Taiwan University has been proactively implementing various measures since 2019. Beginning with a complete ban on melamine tableware in campus dining halls, the university further tightened restrictions in 2023 by prohibiting the use of disposable cutlery and bottled water at all on-campus administrative meetings, events, and dining facilities. To further solidify its commitment to reducing plastic waste, NTU enacted the "Regulations for Campus Plastic Reduction " in 2024, aiming to minimize the use of single-use plastics and mitigate resource depletion and environmental pollution.
To raise awareness of marine plastic pollution among students, the university has incorporated "Plastic-Free Living" workshops into student organization training programs. Through engaging case studies and data, these workshops aim to educate students about the severe impact of plastic waste on marine ecosystems and encourage them to adopt plastic-free habits.
