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.
Inspired by the campus’s upgraded waste system, Edward Florendo, animal care supervisor at the School of Medicine, began looking for a solution for a unique single-use plastic container frequently used in his labs.
By collaborating with the Office of Sustainability and Stanford’s recycling processor, Edward was able to implement a procedure to turn that waste into a resource. With the filters and most of the labeling removed, the unique containers can now be accepted in our recycling stream.
Edward’s leadership is just one example of individual actions that are key to building a more sustainable campus.
