SDG 12 : Responsible Consumption and Production

Prioritizing aspects of environmental preservation must be the foundation in every development process for a better future. Environmental conservation involves policies, implementation, and agencies that carry out environmental conservation. One of the problems that becomes the main concern of FIB UI is garbage. Garbage has always been a serious problem that threatens the environment, including the environment in Depok and Jakarta, where the University of Indonesia is located. Depok, for example, has so far only depended on one Cipayung landfill (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir/TPA) to be used as a final waste disposal site. Every day 1.3 tons of waste, and some of it is plastic waste and hazardous waste, accumulate in the TPA Cipayung so that the TPA Cipayung has been overcapacity for a long time. FIB UI actively tries to alleviate this problem, for example by reducing the use of goods made of plastic, sorting waste into three categories, namely degradable, undegradable, and hazardous waste, etc.
