LL1 : Sustainable Arcade

Sustainable Arcade is launch by September 8th, 2012 by UTM Pro-Chancellor, Tan Sri Salleh Mohd Nor. It is one of the strategic key initiatives of UTM Campus Sustainability to promote GREEN, HEALTHY AND SAFETY PRACTICE to the consumers and food operator in the food arcade. It has the main objective to reduce the waste generated in the arcade (solid waste, food waste), practice recycling and resource recovery which reduces the carbon emission generated. The benefits not only contribute to the environment but also the campus society as a whole.

How you can contribute to Sustainable Arcade?

Initiative of Fork-to-Farm

Arcades (Cafes and University’s Restaurant) customers will bring their leftover to the cleaning station which functions as food waste collectors provided in Sustainable Arcade. In further, it will reduce the solid waste collection volume and its charges to the campus operational cost. This initiative is part of our effort to greening our campus by helping our composting program too.
