Same Supplies, Better Box: Closing the Loop on Campus Shipping
How one campus building manager is rethinking the supplies behind scientific discovery –helping labs be more circular.
Justin Donohugh, an earth systems student on the Sustainable Food and Agriculture track, took advantage of his film skills and passion for sustainability to support one of the Office of Sustainability’s goals – highlighting the importance of Stanford’s Zero Waste Building System.
For his capstone project, he helped tell the story of Stanford’s updated waste system by creating a short video. He helped rethink how to communicate to faculty and staff about waste – distilling a complex topic into easy-to-understand guidance less than three minutes long. This project is an example of how the campus can be used as a living lab — leveraging academic partnerships to solve real operational sustainability challenges on campus.
