Zero Waste Study
The Zero Waste Study kicked off in November of 2018. The Zero Waste working group, including a mix of campus stakeholders, was charged with developing a plan to include an overarching strategy, milestones and timeline focused on waste diversion from landfill, waste reduction, food waste reduction, and single-use plastics elimination. The Zero Waste Master Plan was released in January 2020.
