This activity was held at the TPST of the UPT K3L UNDIP office on Wednesday, May 13th, 2026.
The visit was attended by a number of SMA 1 Karanganom students, teachers, UNDIP K3L team, and also accompanied by Dr. Bina Kurniawan, S.KM., M.Kes., Chairman of UPT K3L UNDIP. He welcomed and introduced the UNDIP Zero Waste movement to students.
“Please visit and learn here. Here there are several waste processing methods, namely organic, inorganic, and B3 waste. We have a commitment called UNDIP Zero Waste, which means that UNDIP’s waste cannot be thrown away carelessly,” said Dr. Bina Kurniawan, S.KM., M.Kes., Head of UPT K3L when welcoming the students.
The students get direct experience related to waste management and environmental maintenance. They were given taught about the waste sorting process and the circular economy concept that has been continuously developed by UNDIP until now. Students not only listen to the theoretical explanation, but also see directly the processing food waste and the making of compost.
“Seeing the enthusiasm of the students who come to TPST of course made me happy. Since they look so excited, also curious,” said Fairoz Zilal, one of the mentors from UPT K3L UNDIP when interviewed on Wednesday, May 13th.
The mentor team from K3L UNDIP provides information directly so that the students get experiences that can be implemented after the outing class ends.
“This is a good step to support waste management in Indonesia. In which we know Indonesia is in a waste emergency. So it can be a small step for the beginning,” he continued. “UNDIP Zero Waste” manifested as an effort to build a clean, healthy, environmentally friendly, and sustainable campus ecosystem.
Now, TPST UNDIP has become a credentials for various schools, agencies, and local governments in waste and environmental management. This also realizes the UNDIP tagline: “Noble and Valuable.” (Public Communication/UNDIP/Hanifah)
