[3.17] Sewage Disposal (WS.6)
Example of Sewage Disposal (IAIN Curup, Indonesia)
Description:
(Please describe the sewage disposal on your campus. The following is an example of the description. You can describe more related items if needed.)
For toxic waste, IAIN Curup uses septic tanks as sewage disposal. Septic tanks are wastewater treatment systems used to manage liquid waste from toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens in homes or other buildings. This system consists of a closed tank made of concrete or plastic, which functions to accommodate liquid waste and allows the sedimentation and fermentation process by anaerobic bacteria. In the tank, solids will settle at the bottom, while processed liquid waste will flow out into the drain or soil percolation system, where it will be filtered and further processed. Thus, septic tanks play an important role in preventing environmental pollution by treating liquid waste before it is disposed of.

[3.18] Impact of Waste Management Programs in Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
IAIN Curup, Indonesia
Description:
(Please describe Impact of Waste Management programs in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals. The following is an example of the description. You can describe more related items if needed.)
IAIN Curup, a well-designed waste-management programme can contribute to multiple SDGs. The effective waste management in IAIN Curup supports SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being), SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals such as:
| SDG 3 – Good Health & Well-being | Better waste collection, segregation and disposal reduces disease vectors, odour, vermin, and environmental pollution. For example, improper waste (especially in student housing, labs, canteens) can affect health. A campus programme that improves waste handling contributes to healthier campus environment. |
|---|---|
| SDG 6 – Clean Water & Sanitation | If waste isn’t properly managed, leachate or runoff can contaminate groundwater or surface water; proper infrastructure (bins, sorting, treatment, safe disposal) avoids this. |
| SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities & Communities | Universities are part of their local community; by improving campus waste behaviour, the institution can model sustainable consumption and production for the city/region (Curup/Bengkulu). Also, student & staff behaviour change can spill over into the surrounding community. |
| SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption & Production | Waste programmes emphasise the 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). These reduce the volume of waste, promote more sustainable consumption by students/staff, and can instil circular-economy thinking (materials kept in use longer). For example, literature on organic waste management in villages emphasises economic, social, and environmental dimensions. |
| SDG 15 – Life on Land | Waste dumped in landfills or illegal sites harms land ecosystems; microplastics, soil contamination affect flora/fauna. Good waste management lessens these negative impacts. For example, there is mention of policies to reduce hazardous waste and plastics at an Indonesian university. |
| SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals | A university can partner with local government, NGOs, community groups, and waste-pickers to implement programmes. Such partnerships enhance capacity, resources, and knowledge exchange in waste management. The literature on Indonesia emphasises both formal and informal policy and the role of community initiatives. |
Waste-management programmes at IAIN Curup can play a substantial role in advancing multiple SDGs — especially SDG 3, 6, 11, 12, 15 and 17. By establishing structured programmes (audit, infrastructure, behaviour change, partnerships, monitoring) and aligning them with measurable indicators tied to the SDGs, the institution can both reduce its environmental footprint and act as a model of sustainability in the region.
- SDG 13 – Lowering emissions from waste and enhancing climate action
- SDG 14 – Minimizing land and marine pollution from solid waste
- SDG 15 – Protecting ecosystems through sustainable waste practices
- SDG 17 – Building waste partnerships for policy and practice improvement
