National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) promotes the reduction of disposable and single-use items through its campus plastic reduction guidelines and sustainable dining management practices.
University units are encouraged to minimise the provision and use of packaged drinking water, disposable tableware, plastic lunch boxes, and other single-use items at meetings and administrative activities. Staff, students, and participants are encouraged to use reusable cups, tableware, and containers instead.
For campus dining services, NCKU incorporates environmental sustainability requirements into vendor selection and contract management. Campus food-service operators are encouraged to reduce the use of disposable containers and tableware, while incentives such as discounts for customers who bring reusable meal containers are promoted.
Through administrative guidelines, vendor requirements, and behavioural incentives, NCKU seeks to reduce demand for single-use items, encourage reusable alternatives, and promote a circular and low-carbon campus.
