A brief description of the plan(s) to advance sustainability in Waste:
With the local MRF converting their system to manage additional recyclable materials (#3-#7), as a campus we will be able to divert more materials from the landfill. A new plastic film (#4) recycling program was launched in Spring 2013, keeping additional plastics out of the landfill while supporting a local recycling company and generating a small revenue stream for the University.
This fits into the broader solid waste reduction goals outlined in the campus Climate Action Plan which focuses on enhanced recycling programs, better organic waste management and, potentially, moving the campus to Zero Waste to landfill.
The entire Climate Action Plan can be viewed at ACUPCC.org or on the UWGB sustainability website.

None
The measurable objectives, strategies and timeframes included in the Waste plan(s):
With the launch of the added recycling capabilities this fall, a communication/awareness program will be developed to meet students for late Fall 2014 with the additional opportunities to increase their recycling efforts.
The current Climate Action Plan for the university outlines a 20 percent reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030. Solid waste is included in this goal.
The Climate Action Plan can be viewed at the ACUPCC.org website or on the UWGB sustainability website.
