Pusan National University(PNU) has developed a plan for a carbon-neutral campus and follows the 'Guidelines for Reducing the

Use of Single-Use Disposables in Public Institutions' to minimize single-use products through various policies.

This initiative applies to university members, vendors, and suppliers of equipment, stationery, and construction services.

1. Ban on Single-Use Cups in Cafes

PNU aims to reduce plastic waste in its cafes by banning single-use cups and promoting reusable alternatives, encouraging 

a shift in consumer habits.

2. Ban on Plastic Bags in Canteens

Campus canteens are working to cut down on plastic waste by prohibiting plastic bags. This regulation supports the use of

alternatives like shopping carts.

3. Compliance with the Industrial Standardization Act

PNU mandates that suppliers of office supplies, food, and equipment comply with the packaging standards of the Industrial

Standardization Act. They must use recyclable packaging and minimize waste generation.
