Optional Fields
ASU has a goal of institution-wide zero waste by 2025. ASU defines zero waste as a 90% reduction in landfill waste from our current business-as-usual status. The University practices this goal through diversion and aversion. Waste is diverted from the landfill through recycling, composting and reuse or repurposing.
Waste is averted through reduced consumption.
The goal of the following solid waste and recycling guidelines is to assist construction, renovation and demolition projects achieve the highest diversion rate possible for solid waste. Recognizing funding and time and market restrictions, it is anticipated that a minimum diversion rate of 60% is achievable for all projects.
Three main activities will be addressed in relation to solid waste:
Waste generated by direct project activities (demolition, renovation, installation and construction activities).
Waste generated by incidental activities of contractors, project management staff and other project participants (daily activities associated with office and employee functioning).
Waste generated by any moving and/or occupancy associated with the project (including occupant move in and out).
The Zero Waste (ZW) Guidelines provide equipment and expectations specific to ASU facilities including new construction, additions, renovations, and leased properties. Consult with ASU Zero Waste Program staff for guidance and approvals.
