The processing of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) organic waste in the form of street sweeping leaves and twigs is further processed at the ITS Compost House located on Jl Arif Rahman Hakim. Waste generated every day amounted to ± 3.5 – 4 m3 and produced approximately 90 kg of compost. Furthermore, ITS has a biogas reactor placed at the Sutorejo Surabaya Superdepo TPS. The biogas plant is equipped with purification and placed adjacent to the final catchment basin for organic waste. This reactor processes organic waste from the landfill of 0.5 tons per day.
Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, with its “Advancing Humanity” motto, is committed to contributing to achieving SDGs by becoming a sustainable and environmentally friendly campus. The commitment is shown by establishing the Rector’s Statement Letter in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Moreover, discussions related to waste disposal, measuring the amount of waste sent to landfill and recycled, can be found in Chapter III, Point B, C, and D, Page 2.
