Has the institution banned or eliminated the on-site sales and distribution of at least one type of single-use disposable plastic?:
A brief description of the single-use disposable plastics that have been banned or eliminated:
We don't have any food services other than a coffee shop under Cascadia, but have vending machines. Our foundation staff found a way to contract to remove all single use plastic water bottles and sodas, selling instead only cans and glass bottles in all campus vending machines.
Added to this, we also provided reusable dishware in all campus lunch rooms, to reduce single use plastics, and have banned their use at all campus events - any disposable dishes, utensils, or cups are all compostable, and disposed of properly.
We have compost bins at every campus event, and in all triple stations for waste across campus (includes waste, recycling, and compost). We removed trash cans from classrooms to encourage sorting, and from offices to replace with MiniMax bins.
