Reduce Waste
- Preferred method because it prevents the generation of waste in the
first place
- Manufacturer Decrease materials energy and hazardous
substances used during manufacturing and distribution
- Purchase items in bulk or concentrate form use refill systems
- Select items with minimal packaging
- Use double-sided copyingprinting (set as default)
- Utilize scratch paper reformat to remove ldquoorphansrdquo
- Instead of bottled water provide access to water and reusable cups
- Ask caterers to avoid disposable serving ware and individual packets
- Cannot reduce everything How can we reuse
Waste Management
Page 31
Reuse
- Find a second (or third or hundredth) use for a product to prolong its life
- Rent borrow share or buy used instead of purchasing new
- Check OSU Surplus for used furniture and equipment
- Have items repaired when possible
- Place new labels on used file folders
- Opt for durable rather than disposal goods
- Use ceramic glass or metal cups instead disposable plastics
- Bring a Waste-Free lunch
- Preferable to recycling because no need to collect transport and
process

Reduce Waste
- Preferred method because it prevents the generation of waste in the
first place
- Manufacturer Decrease materials energy and hazardous
substances used during manufacturing and distribution
- Purchase items in bulk or concentrate form use refill systems
- Select items with minimal packaging
- Use double-sided copyingprinting (set as default)
- Utilize scratch paper reformat to remove ldquoorphansrdquo
- Instead of bottled water provide access to water and reusable cups
- Ask caterers to avoid disposable serving ware and individual packets
- Cannot reduce everything How can we reuse
Waste Management
Page 31
Reuse
- Find a second (or third or hundredth) use for a product to prolong its life
- Rent borrow share or buy used instead of purchasing new
- Check OSU Surplus for used furniture and equipment
- Have items repaired when possible
- Place new labels on used file folders
- Opt for durable rather than disposal goods
- Use ceramic glass or metal cups instead disposable plastics
- Bring a Waste-Free lunch

- Manufacturer Decrease materials energy and hazardous
substances used during manufacturing and distribution
- Purchase items in bulk or concentrate form use refill systems
- Select items with minimal packaging
- Use double-sided copyingprinting (set as default)

- Instead of bottled water provide access to water and reusable cups
- Ask caterers to avoid disposable serving ware and individual packets
- Cannot reduce everything How can we reuse
Waste Management
Page 31
Reuse
- Find a second (or third or hundredth) use for a product to prolong its life
- Rent borrow share or buy used instead of purchasing new
- Check OSU Surplus for used furniture and equipment
- Have items repaired when possible
- Place new labels on used file folders
- Opt for durable rather than disposal goods
- Use ceramic glass or metal cups instead disposable plastics
