(Recycle Waste Bank Project)
Mahidol University developed the first master plan for area development in 1974 and the master plan was revised in 1992. In recent decades, a number of factors have disrupted this plan, including external factors, the economy, society, roles and needs for the university’s development, as well as land use requirements to fulfill the missions of various faculties, colleges, and institutes. Thru overcoming obstacles in a variety of areas, the university implemented the “Clean and Clear” project in 2008, along with the “Recycled Waste Bank Project” in 2009 to encourage students and staff to reduce the waste and reorganize for more value-added purpose. To implement the recycling waste bank project, the Environmental Conservation Building has been served as the project headquarter, utilizing software systems and recycling waste bank programs, similar to those of the commercial banks, to collect information and to promote transparency and reliability.
Members of the university’s Recycled Waste Bank and visitors are welcomed to exchange separated and recycled waste into money and they can freely deposit or withdraw the money using the passbooks.
