Since 2012, Sunway Education Group has inculcated a biannual collection of e-Waste from its staff and students. To participate, members of the Sunway Education Group community make an effort to separate e-Waste from regular household waste and drop off these items at dedicated locations on campus. Items collected are sent to a Department of Environment licensed e-Waste recovery facility which recycles and disposes with safeguards to environmental and human health.

An annual initiative by the Sunway Education Group since 2012, the campus e-Waste Disposal Campaign was officially launched on 27 October 2016 by Dr. Elizabeth Lee, Senior Executive Director of Sunway Education Group. Also present to support the launch was SEG’s appointed e-Waste management facility Meriahtek (M) Sdn Bhd’s Executive Director Datuk Jason Yee and Managing Director William Ung.

The Sunway Education Group e-Waste campaign is a sustainability initiative empowering staff and students to make sustainable lifestyle choices. Over the years, the campaign has engaged the SEG community through public awareness education campaigns, hands-on involvement in responsible consumption and disposal. These outreach programmes expand awareness of individuals to the global resource value-chain.

Sunway Education Group IT Services facilitates ongoing development of user-knowledge about electrical and electronic products to empower users to make choices which prolong a product’s lifetime in the system. Such an approach recognises the material and resource impacts of a throwaway culture to the environment, and seeks to inculcate a global perspective towards consumption within Sunway’s staff and student body.
