CU’s Move Towards a Plastic-Free Community

 The Chula Zero Waste project, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine, has announced that starting 1 August 2018, the 7-11 at Preedalai Dormitory will no longer give out plastic bags.

 

The measure is meant to reduce plastic waste on campus and students, professors, staff, and visitors purchasing items from the 7-11 on a regular basis are encouraged to carry a tote bag to support the reduction of plastic bags.  If necessary, customers may purchase a plastic bag for THB 2 each or rent-a-bag with a THB 10 deposit. Free plastic bags will only be given with purchases of heated items.

 

Moreover, with every plastic bag purchased at 7-11, Chula Zero Waste will deposit the proceeds to promote environmental-related activities for students and staff at Chulalongkorn University.
