2 Comments

 
WasteCap moderated the waste & recycling breakout session at the UW System's Annual Sustainability Conference held at UW-Madison from October 3rd - October 4th. WasteCap shared tips, and considerations for managing materials at universities.

Travis Blomberg, WasteCap's Executive Director, started the session by digging into each university's waste performance score from its Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) report. The scoring system allowed each university to benchmark itself against other campuses. Participants including students, faculty, and operational staff describe their campus' successful strategies and problem areas.

The majority of the discussion revolved around minimization & diversion of waste for on-going operations. Travis reiterated the importance for developing a system for measurement and verification. Blomberg stated that "collecting reliable and meaningful data is the first step to implement and institutionalize a successful waste reduction program. From there, you can follow a repetitive plan-do-check-act approach to continually improvement on your efforts." Blomberg cited WasteCap's involvement in the construction & demolition waste reduction program for state buildings as an example to institutionalize data collection in order to make meaningful change. 

The session wrapped-up by focusing efforts to reduce that amount of materials that enter the university system as a way to eliminate the need to manage the solid waste material.
