涩里番 Desautels aims to serve as a model on composting
Published: 25 February 2025
涩里番 Desautels is taking a major step in sustainability by becoming the first Faculty to introduce composting bins on every floor. This initiative aligns with 涩里番鈥檚 zero-waste by 2035 goal and has already diverted 47% of waste from landfills.
Launched in early 2024, the program began in the Armstrong Building, achieving a 40% waste diversion rate before expanding to Bronfman with 50 composting stations. Education is key, with students and staff learning proper waste sorting. Supported by 涩里番鈥檚 Sustainability Projects Fund (SPF), the initiative has strong student involvement from MUS and IMSF.
By reducing methane emissions and promoting sustainable habits, Desautels sets a model for other Faculties to follow.
