Weekly Updates for Zero Waste
Associated Project(s):
Hi Pete and Shawn—
Last week was a quiet week with regard to zero-waste activities. I managed to reach Jonathan McClintock at Kimberly- Clark and forwarded the following information to Morgan:
- Jonathan spoke with Serenity Desmond on April 4. She can handle gloves from Noyes only. The gloves are going directly from Noyes to K-C. Noyes is not currently paying for the pickups but that may change, although K-C would give them rebates for free gloves if they pay.
- People typically purchase gloves by the case. An average weight for a case is 20 lbs.
- The program is really intended to be used at stocking centers. Jonathan has been in touch with store rooms on campus but has not gotten any of them on board yet. He will send me the contact names so Morgan and I can discuss how we might approach them.
- Jonathan will send me the most recent statistics on how quantities of gloves collected from UIUC. The statistics will include what has been collected from Noyes.
I have not yet received the contact names or statistics from Jonathan but will keep an eye out for them this week.
Best regards,
Marya Ryan
