Abstract
Waste management is one of the biggest environmental issues faced by printing industry today.This paper investigates and characterizes all waste materials in Chulalongkorn University Printing House (CU Printing House), Bangkok, Thailand. This research selects CU Printing House as a case study, which represents a small and medium scale of printing house. All wastes materials in the CU Printing House were segregated and classified into non-hazardous waste and hazardous waste. Waste code was applied and coded according to the Industrial Work Department, Ministry of Industry, Thailand. We conducted a waste audit and measured the amount and type of wastes which were generated, then work out how these could be minimised. This paper presents an example of waste characterization of CU printing house. Waste management strategy i.e. waste audit and waste code were applied for all wastes generated. The amount of wastes and type of wastes were also reported. This study proposed a guideline for good waste management applies to CU Printing House.
