Project Ideas: Waste Management

  • What unique barriers do students face to divert waste while in residences? Does this change by different types of buildings? What are opportunities to reduce those barriers?

  • What are barriers to waste diversion on campus? How can waste sorting be improved? How can we connect students and employees to programs to divert waste?

  • How can the University of Waterloo approach SDG 12: responsible consumption and production? How can we effectively communicate the resources available on campus that aid in waste sorting to the university community?
