Reducing waste is a large part of becoming a more environmentally friendly institution. Here’s how it can be done.  

As large organizations, universities have the potential to produce a lot of waste. Excess and unwanted materials, food, and energy are all frequent by-products of the day-to-day functions of an institution.  

Reducing this waste is a key step in becoming a more environmentally friendly institution and in turn minimizing your negative impact on the environment.
