Abstract

This research's objective was to evaluate the greenhouse gas emission reduction achieved by recycling waste sorting in the College of Innovative Management Office, Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage through a low emission support scheme (LESS). The research methodology is divided into two main parts: (1) Study and collect data on waste management within the College of Innovative Management and (2) Calculate the amount of greenhouse gas reduction from activities. The results showed that the amount of paper waste during the data collection period from May 2022 to November 2022 tends to increase, with the highest amount in November being 835 kilograms, totaling 1,848 kilograms. When using the weight to calculate the amount of greenhouse gas reduction from activities, it was found that greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by as much as 10.484 tCO2eq. The Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction of the College of Innovative Management Office can support the green university of Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage. According to Long-term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) in Thailand.
