Prof. Dr. Worrawit Nakpan, Acting Director of the Department of International Affairs, delivered &#8220;orphan waste&#8221; collected from staff, students, alumni, and the public to <br>the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was a mobile orphan waste activity organized by Mr. Somboon Kittianong, a representative for waste management through grinding to create a coal substitute fuel. Representatives from EGAT&#8217;s Resource Management and Administration Department accepted the donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Orphan waste&#8221; refers to garbage that cannot be recycled or sold for value. Examples include scraps of cloth, old clothes, detergent packets, refill pouches for various liquids, mouse pads, desiccant packets, sponges, toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, plastic cream jars and tubes, combs, expired medicine, and other types of waste that can be cut up and used as fuel. <br>This waste undergoes a modern technological process to produce high-quality Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF). This RDF can then be used as a substitute for coal in cement factories and waste-to-energy power plants, preventing the waste from being sent to landfills in various provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This donation activity was held under the &#8220;Raising of the transition to World University Rankings: Green University\u201d project, driven by the Department of International Affairs of STOU. The project aims to raise environmental awareness, promote waste separation, and encourage efficient resource utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
