Alternative systems for zero waste user engagement

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

To improve the recycling habits of students living in residence housing on the campus of the University of British Columbia, a review of behavioural intervention techniques to promote recycling has been conducted. A redesign of the waste and sorting room at the Marine Drive residence has been proposed as a pilot project. The improved room design includes a recycling pathway with an improved layout, the addition of audio and visual prompts and improved signage. By implementing the recycling pathway at residence buildings on campus, the University of British Columbia will be one step closer to achieving their goal of diverting 70% of their waste by 2016.
