Environmental Mindedness
Panyaden International School is committed to reducing the unnecessary exploitation of natural resources, recycling waste, and reducing our carbon footprint. As evidence of our commitment towards caring for the natural environment, the school itself is constructed from renewable natural resources and reused wood and glass.
The school will encourage such environmental mindfulness amongst all staff, students, parents and the local community.
Methods of Waste Management in Panyaden International School
The school divides, and processes waste into three major types as follows.
Food scraps are separated from other forms of waste and processed through our on-site waste food system to produce biogas to provide cooking fuel for our kitchen and to fertilise vegetables and plants that we grow at the school.
Recyclable materials such as plastic, paper, glass and wood scraps are separated and are either re-used for classroom activities or sent to recycling plants. Waste disposal bins are provided throughout the school that separate the different kinds of waste.
Non-recyclables and hazardous waste are sent for municipal disposal.
