It is on this note that this paper is designed o develop a theoretical model which examine the sachet water waste and its impacts on the environment using Taraba State University as a case study for the research in order to achieve research objective two hypotheses were formulated Hi: There is significant relationship between the sachet water waste and the environmental challenges in Taraba State University Campus. H0: There is no significant relationship between the sachet water waste and the environmental challenges in Taraba State University Campus. The study employed quantitative methods to obtain data through a self-administered questionnaire survey. A sample size of 40 respondents was taken to answer the survey questionnaire of seven item questions using Likert scale where the data obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 16 to determine the co relationship between the sachet water waste and the environmental challenges in Taraba State University campus and a correlation analysis was conducted tested the hypotheses.
