What is Zero Waste?
• University of California System-wide goal:
Zero Waste by 2020
• The University will achieve zero waste by 2020 at all locations other than health locations. Minimum compliance for zero waste is 90% diversion of municipal solid waste from landfill.
• 90% compliance excludes incineration/burning• Policy began with the idea of only measure what is going to landfill

What is Zero Waste?
• University of California System-wide goal:
Zero Waste by 2020
• The University will reduce per capita total municipal solid waste generation at all locations other than health locations as follows:
• Reduce waste generation per capita to FY2015/16 levels by 2020• Reduce waste generation by 25% per capita from FY2015/16 levels by 2025• Reduce waste generation by 50% per capita from FY2015/16 levels by 2030

Bin Infrastructure
![Page 10: Zero Waste Buildings · UC Berkeley’s Zero Waste Building Program California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), July 10, 2019 Presented by: Izzy Parnell-Wolfe,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042005/5e6f53fbad447449864db485/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
● Walkthrough of facility with building
manager
● Discuss bin placement and needs
● Document bins needing to be
removed, moved, or added
● Coordinate with Custodial Services
to determine feasibility of bin
placement and servicing schedule
● Create bin placement map & get
approval from necessary
stakeholders
Initial Walkthrough
![Page 11: Zero Waste Buildings · UC Berkeley’s Zero Waste Building Program California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), July 10, 2019 Presented by: Izzy Parnell-Wolfe,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042005/5e6f53fbad447449864db485/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• An inefficient waste system
is a cost of labor and
resources and works
against our zero waste
goal.
Initial Walkthrough
![Page 12: Zero Waste Buildings · UC Berkeley’s Zero Waste Building Program California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), July 10, 2019 Presented by: Izzy Parnell-Wolfe,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042005/5e6f53fbad447449864db485/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Custodial Assessment
• Assessing custodial staff:
–Workload
–Service Frequencies
–Efficiency
–Ergonomics
• Gathering metrics on volume
of materials
![Page 13: Zero Waste Buildings · UC Berkeley’s Zero Waste Building Program California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), July 10, 2019 Presented by: Izzy Parnell-Wolfe,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042005/5e6f53fbad447449864db485/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Education and Promotion
![Page 14: Zero Waste Buildings · UC Berkeley’s Zero Waste Building Program California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), July 10, 2019 Presented by: Izzy Parnell-Wolfe,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042005/5e6f53fbad447449864db485/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Encourage folks to rethink
which items are purchased for
the building
• Place emphasis on products
that focus on waste reduction,
are made of recycled content &
are recyclable/compostable
Education and Promotion
![Page 15: Zero Waste Buildings · UC Berkeley’s Zero Waste Building Program California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), July 10, 2019 Presented by: Izzy Parnell-Wolfe,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042005/5e6f53fbad447449864db485/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
