| Plastic Bag Recycling |
The goal of this project is to make plastic bag and film recycling more accessible to the campus community. 6 collections bins have been set up at 4 different buildings. After evaluation of the current setup, more drop-off locations may be added or changed. By completing this project, Plastic Bag Recycling will offer multiple benefits such as: |
| FY10 RCx |
The Fiscal Year 2010 Retrocommissioning efforts completed seven more buildings. This year, the Student Sustainability Committee also contributed to funding the RCx efforts for the Illini Union Bookstore. |
| Skip the Bag Campaign |
The Student Sustainability Committee funded an effort to decrease the use of single use plastic bags at the Illini Union Bookstore. |
| EPA SmartWay Affiliate |
The University of Illinois became an Affiliate of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SmartWay® Transportation Partnership in June 2020, after University Housing’s Dining Services joined SmartWay in 2013. The SmartWay program aims to reduce global freight emissions by providing strategies for shippers and carriers to adopt more sustainable practices, and Affiliates help spread the word about sustainable supply chain transportation efforts and grow the SmartWay Program. ® SmartWay is a registered service mark of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). |
| Waste Stream Characterization Study Phase 1 |
F&S has requested a proposal from the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) to get waste stream audits for select buildings across campus. The program will repeat the efforts completed by ISTC at their building, on a larger scale. This project could eventually extend to cover all campus facilities, or it could be done at select locations on a recurring basis to measure progress. |
