Furthermore, NCKU has provided guidance and specifications for drainage quality in school dormitories and laboratories. In particular, there are clear definitions and regulated disposal methods for laboratory hazardous materials, ensuring that the disposal of solid and liquid laboratory waste does not adversely affect the water quality and avoids contaminating nearby bodies of water.
- NCKU Plastic Reduction Guidelines

NCKU has published the "NCKU Plastic Reduction Guidelines," in order to align with the Taiwanese government's "Taiwan Marine Waste Management Action Plan." These guidelines explicitly stipulate that single-use plastic products shall not be provided or used during campus meetings and administrative activities, aiming to reduce the pollution of marine life caused by land-based activities.

Research Team of Researcher Jun-Yen Chen, NCKU: Innovative Circular Economy Industry for High-Efficiency Conversion of Livestock and Industrial Wastewater
Researcher Jun-Yen Chen from the Biotechnology Center at National Cheng Kung University has long been dedicated to microalgae research and is regarded as a pioneer in this field in Taiwan. He led his team to establish one of the most comprehensive local microalgae genetic databases in Taiwan’s academic community, as well as Asia’s largest outdoor microalgae cultivation demonstration plant. By applying innovative integrated algae-bacteria biotechnology, his team works on wastewater treatment and carbon capture, actively advancing net-zero carbon reduction efforts.His research has not only received funding support from the National Science and Technology Council’s Value Creation Program but has also gradually built strong industry collaborations. Moreover, it has attracted nearly NT$100 million in investment from a leading domestic petrochemical corporation, positioning his work as a highly anticipated emerging carbon-reduction technology.
Amid the global pressure to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Chen is further devoted to microalgae-based carbon reduction and resource reuse, while also pursuing high-value applications to drive the development of sustainable fuels and low-carbon materials.
