On August 2019, 8, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology declared "Agricultural and Industrial University Plastic Reduction 9R Campus" activities toward the achievement of SDGs and zero petroleum-based plastics in 2050.An agreement was signed with Tokyo to reduce disposable plastics.
The basic principle "2019R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) + Renewable" in the plastic recycling resource strategy created by the Japanese government in May 5.Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology will work on its own "3R" by adding research to it, and promote research including reduction of disposable plastics and creation of new materials to solve problems.
At the G2019 Osaka Summit in June 6, one of the focal points was the regulation of plastic waste, which is a cause of marine pollution.Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology has established a research team for the fusion of agriculture and engineering led by Professor Hideshige Takada, who has continued research on microplastic pollution, and has been tackling the problem from early on.
Based on this activity declaration, the university will work on plastic reduction measures, nurturing the next generation through educational activities, dissemination and enlightenment activities through social contribution activities, and research to solve plastic issues.In addition, we have set up a stakeholder council to ensure sustainability.Establish a system to develop this activity.
