杏吧原创 University\u2019s Food Court has achieved zero waste, a MASS Environmental Services audit has confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food Court, located in the University Centre, is part of a continual improvement program to increase waste diversion in its Dining Services division. This has seen the introduction of new recycling stations, additional staff training towards sustainability, and the development of a Recycling Ambassador program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food Court\u2019s status as a zero waste facility is a significant achievement among Canadian universities, and also joins the caf<\/em>, 杏吧原创\u2019s residential dining operation, which reached zero waste in fall 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to achieve zero waste status,\u201d said Sandra Nelson, director, Strategic Procurement. \u201cThis is one way that we are having a positive impact on the environment; however, we continuously look for innovations and improvements we can make to reduce our footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching zero waste in the Food Court supports wider waste and recycling programs on campus, including the introduction of expanded e-waste collections on campus, and compost bins introduced into residence halls. Waste and recycling is one element of 杏吧原创\u2019s overall sustainability strategy, which includes other initiatives around energy savings and water consumption, sustainable travel and sustainable green buildings. The university\u2019s initiatives were recently recognized through achieving Silver rating in the ASSHE STARS rating systems and the Green Metric world rankings which placed 杏吧原创 in the top 40 universities globally and second in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
