Reusable Dishware Program Piloted Across Stanford Campus
Collecting 500+ donated plates and cutlery, Living Lab Fellow Anna Gomes is building a more communal and sustainable eating culture at Stanford.
Meet the dumpster divers who suit up to hand sort campus waste. Stanford students and staff dive deep into campus dumpster data to identify solutions that drive us closer to our zero waste goal.
“This data-driven process helps us make smart and sustainable decisions about how we manage Stanford’s waste,” said Julie Muir, the associate director of zero waste systems. “It also helps us develop tools that the campus community can use to improve waste sorting and help the university move closer to its climate goals.”
Waste audits are open to the entire campus community. Anyone interested in volunteering can reach out through the Sustainable Stanford Contact Form.
