When the College’s strategic plan was finalized and published, the Zilkha Center was tasked by the Provost to convene stakeholders to create actionable plans with more specific strategies for a number of the key sustainability areas.
The Zero Waste Action Planning Group (ZWAPG) is focusing on zero waste, materials management, and sustainable procurement as outlined in the Responsible Consumption section of the Strategic Plan. In doing so, it is advancing the progress that has been made over the past two years with input from students and operational stakeholders and guidance. Another key partner has been the consultant group Post Landfill Action Network, which worked with the College and campus Zero Waste Interns in 2019-2020 on a full campus waste assessment conducted and subsequently a zero waste strategic visioning conducted last year that aligned our zero waste goals with those in the Strategic Plan. (More information about the zero waste assessment and visioning can be found below.)
The ZWAPG will be spending the academic year working on creating the Zero Waste Action Plan – a living document guiding our collective campus work on waste management, materials handling, and procurement, which we plan to deliver to the Provost in the spring of 2022.
