The Faculty of Science, Ladkrabang is advancing toward sustainability by preparing for the Carbon Footprint of Organization (CFO) assessment.
A lecture titled “Carbon Footprint of Organization (CFO)” was held on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the Chulabhorn Walailak Auditorium.
The session aimed to enhance understanding of:
- Principles of CFO assessment
- Roles of organizational units in data collection and greenhouse gas reporting
The event was honored by Dr. Kamolchanok Rungreang, who served as the speaker, sharing knowledge and practical experience. The session helped raise awareness about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and driving the organization toward tangible sustainability outcomes.
The ExSciT Center, Faculty of Science, KMITL, in collaboration with BSI Group (Thailand), organized a training program on “Product Carbon Footprint Assessment (ISO 14067).” The session was honored by Dr. Phanuwat Usahapian, a specialist in Life Cycle Assessment and GHG Management, who shared his expertise and real-world experience.
The program included practical workshops that participants could directly apply in real-world operations. All attendees received certificates of completion.
The training received excellent feedback from industry representatives and entrepreneurs who participated, reflecting strong interest in adopting Carbon Footprint approaches to support sustainable operations.
On December 16, 2025, Ms. Suttida Buakham, Environmental Academic Specialist and co-instructor with Asst. Prof. Dr. Chadchanok Attapong, led students from the GENED course “Raising of Sustainable Awareness” on a field visit to gain hands-on experience in integrated sustainable environmental management, together with the team from the Office of Physical Resources and Environment.
What did students learn?
- Modern Waste Management: Students observed the KMITL Smart Bin system and structured waste-sorting processes that transform waste into resources, including recyclable materials and refuse-derived fuel (RDF). They learned the importance of proper waste separation to reduce landfill waste.
- Living Lab & Community Engagement: A visit to the duck enclosure/learning space demonstrated how campus areas can be utilized as practical learning environments for students.
- Turning Food Waste into Fertilizer: Students explored how food scraps can be processed into high-quality organic fertilizer, reinforcing the concept that “everything has value” and can be returned to enrich soil and plant life.
Driving the circular economy through green innovation, on October 22, 2025, Dr. Jorasawan Koyvanich, Vice President for Asset Management and Sustainability of King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, together with representatives from two units — Dr. Narongrit Jintchantrawong, Chair of the SDGs Subcommittee, and Sunan Daokrajai, Deputy Director, along with the Office of Physical Resources and Environment team — visited Qualy at Qualy Design Space.
The delegation was honored to receive insights from Teerachai Supametheegulwat (“Khun Jai”), Founder and Design Director of Qualy, who shared creative product design concepts. He highlighted innovations in responsible production and consumption guided by the principle “Design for a Sustainable World,” demonstrating how circular economy concepts can be transformed into tangible products.
This training program was organized to prepare participants for the Organizational Carbon Footprint (CFO) assessment and to advance toward certification by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization.
The activity focused on building understanding of:
- Data collection methodologies
- Greenhouse gas emission assessment
- Verification processes and registration preparation
The goal is to support the transition toward becoming an environmentally responsible and sustainable organization.
Organized by the Office of Physical Resources and Environment, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, on Monday, August 4, 2025, at the Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design, KMITL (Integrated Workshop Building – “Black Shop”).
The first step toward a sustainable future for King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang took place on May 20, 2025, when the Office of Asset Management, in collaboration with KLLC, organized the training program “Organizational Development Toward Sustainability.” The session enhanced participants’ knowledge on Zero Waste to Landfill, sustainability standards, and sustainable wastewater management.
The event was honored by Akarawes Chuchuay, Managing Director of Amata Facility Service Co., Ltd., who shared practical approaches that organizations can adopt to help build a better world in a tangible and sustainable way.
Komsan Maleesi, President of King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, together with Jorasawan Koyvanich, Vice President for Asset Management and Sustainability; Chadchanok Attapong, Assistant to the President for Physical Resources and Environment; Napasarapee Luangsakul, Dean of the Faculty of Food Industry; and Yollapat Areeorab, Acting Director of the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center, jointly announced the KMITL Canteen for Living with Environment And Nutrition (K-CLEAN) policy.
This initiative promotes affordable menu options, safety standards, and Zero Waste practices across campus food courts, aiming to reduce waste to zero. It also serves as the foundation for a training program for food vendors and food handlers to enhance canteen food quality and service in terms of price, taste, and standards. Monitoring measures will be conducted by a committee alongside evaluations from student and staff consumers.
All 11 campus canteens are required to strictly follow the K-CLEAN policy to ensure the best outcomes for everyone, elevate nutritional standards, and guarantee well-being for all. In addition, “Khae Saed Drinking Water,” produced by the Faculty of Food Industry, is provided with assured cleanliness and quality accessible to everyone, supporting sustainable production and consumption.
As Thailand shows a growing trend in consuming organic fruits and vegetables, having accurate knowledge enables individuals to grow their own produce with higher quality and safety. This can be achieved by reducing or eliminating the use of chemicals and synthetic fertilizers in the production process and turning to natural methods instead. Any surplus beyond personal consumption may also be sold to generate additional income.
This initiative aligns with government strategies promoting organic agriculture and reducing agricultural chemical use to support sustainable development. Composting or producing organic fertilizer is therefore an especially appealing activity for retirees. The organizers coordinated with expert speakers and supporting partners to provide resources for project implementation for members of the Saiyai KMITL Club under King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.
Participants will gain knowledge about organic fertilizer production and be able to use the fertilizer they produce as an input for growing organic vegetables for consumption, or apply their knowledge to make informed food choices. The activity also promotes the reuse of leftover organic materials as composting inputs, helping reduce toxic haze from burning, decreasing household and community organic waste, lowering pollution, and supporting sustainable development in line with royal initiatives.
