Guiding Principles

  • Work towards becoming a zero waste campus.
  • Celebrate and make visible the recycling and reuse processes.
  • Create an innova3ve and inspiring recycling and reuse center that acts as a living

lab and educa3onal facility.

  • Engage and connect the community with a local venue for gatherings and item

exchange.

  • Explore the use of non-recyclable waste as fuel to support campus energy demand.
