📄 Abstract（原文）
Inefficient food waste management poses significant environmental challenges, particularly through the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. This study quantifies the carbon footprint of campus food waste at Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Chemical & Bioengineering Technology (UniKL MICET) and provides baseline evidence for evaluating the sustainability performance of existing waste management practices. A campus-based food waste audit was conducted across three sampling cycles, covering all cafeterias and two collection points (CPs), and food waste was categorized into animal-based, plant-based, and spoiled food. Carbon emissions were estimated using both generalized and type-specific emission factors. Results indicate that the majority of waste (96%) originates from campus cafeterias, with animal-based food contributing disproportionately to emissions. The total greenhouse gas emissions per sampling cycle were estimated at 150.3 kg CO2-eq, translating to an annual potential of 12.21 tonnes CO2-eq. Animal-based waste, although only 24.5% of the total mass, accounted for over half of total emissions, emphasizing its high carbon intensity. Plant-based and spoiled food contributed comparatively lower emissions. These findings provide a basis for designing targeted interventions to reduce campus food waste and mitigate its environmental impact. The study supports Sustainable Development Goal 12 and 13, offering insights to advance a circular, low-carbon food system on campus.
