The Department of Safety Technology and Occupational Health led students to participate in a research project under the framework titled "Enhancing Efficiency and Developing Waste Materials from the White Coconut Processing Industry."

The project aims to address issues related to the storage of waste, reduce environmental problems, improve fire safety, and eliminate breeding grounds for disease-carrying vectors. Furthermore, it seeks to add value to waste materials, thereby generating direct benefits for the local community.

On April 8–9, 2025, the Department of Safety Technology and Occupational Health, Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Technology, organized a student-led participation in a research project under the framework titled “Enhancing Efficiency and Developing Waste Materials from the White Coconut Processing Industry.”
The project aimed to mitigate issues related to waste storage, reduce environmental impact, improve fire safety, and eliminate breeding grounds for disease-carrying vectors, while simultaneously adding value to waste materials for the direct benefit of the local community.

The initiative consisted of three main activities:
1. Processing coconut husks to extract fibers for product development
2. Producing biochar from coconut shell waste
3. Transferring technology and knowledge to 40 local entrepreneurs and interested participants

These activities took place at the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center, Ban Saraphi, located in Chompluak Subdistrict, Bang Khonthi District, Samut Songkhram Province.
The project not only supported sustainable waste management but also strengthened community engagement and promoted practical applications of safety and environmental knowledge among students.
