IUS has chosen to use the same reporting fiscal year for both the "baseline" and "performance" year- FY2020. The reason is so that the institution can utilize data prior to COVID. This assessment is the first report conducted on the campus, and so this is also our baseline report as well.

| Weighted campus users | 2,142.25 | 3,654.25 |
Total waste generated per weighted campus user:

| Total waste generated per weighted campus user | 0.15 Metric tons | 0.09 Metric tons |
Percentage reduction in total waste generated per weighted campus user from baseline:
0
Part 3. Waste diverted from the landfill or incinerator

Contamination and Discard Rates
0
A brief description of any recycling quality control mechanisms employed:
IUS has a standard single-stream recycling program across campus. We utilize blue containers for recycling and grey/black containers for trash throughout all buildings. The bins include signage to assist with proper item identification and disposal. We also have visual shadowbox displays above and/or on the Recycling and Trash containers in our Retail Food Court area that provides a visual item identification placement. Our Waste Hauler does have an MRF facility and accepts 10-20% contaminated items and will reject loads of recyclables beyond that threshold. The recycling hauler provides feedback on any concerns or problems with any of the specific building locations that we can follow up on.
Programs and Initiatives
Recycling and trash bins found in common areas – hallways and break rooms – will not change. They are emptied daily and have a liner in the bin.
IUS provides a list of recycling locations throughout our county (Floyd)- https://www.floydcounty.in.gov/index.php/floyd-county-government/floyd-county-indiana-solid-waste-district#recycling-%20locations%20incase%20our%20campus%20community%20would%20like%20to%20recycle%20at%20home%20but%20don't%20have%20access%20to%20a%20recycling%20service.

IU Sustainable Purchasing Guidelines: Why Sustainable Procurement at IU?
As we face global issues in the economy, energy, climate change, equity, water, and food, it is time that Indiana University, as a leading institute of higher education, moves towards sustainability. The Indiana University Purchasing Department has been encouraging “green” purchasing over the years. Efforts are made in the areas of papers, cleaning products, furniture, carpets, and some food items, among others. It is step-by-step progress towards moving Indiana University towards a sustainable campus.

IU Print is a global print platform that delivers the core engine for student printing and managed print services for organizations. IU Print looks to deliver a print platform that reduces cost, increases efficiency, is highly secure, and provides maximum flexibility.
Student printing: IU Print delivers printing for students across all campuses. The IU Print platform delivers printing, copying, and scanning functionality in a secure environment for all faculty, staff, and students. Students receive an allotment through the Student Technology Fee that can be used at various locations across all campuses.

Print Less Go Green Campaign
Printing is and will always be a part of the university experience. The Print Less Go Green campaign was established to provide information to students regarding ways to reduce printing while maintaining full access to printing services.
From the Print Less Go Green Campaign website:
The Student Technology Centers (STC's) are committed to finding more sustainable ways to provide you with printing on campus. The following are a few of the ways we are doing this:
Improved Wireless Access: UITS continues to improve the speed and availability of its wireless network. Rather than carrying paper documents with you, bring your laptop to campus and have electronic access to all of your course materials.
Improved Printer Accessibility: UITS has introduced printers in more convenient locations, so there is no need to print materials you might need later; there is always a printer nearby so you can print just the pages that you need to print. This also lessens the need for individuals in residence halls to own personal printers, which use large amounts of energy even in their idle state.
Adobe agreement: In 2008, UITS entered into an agreement with Adobe Systems to make available to all students, faculty, and staff, the most popular Adobe software. Adobe Acrobat permits users to mark up course materials that are downloaded from online resources and stored on the user's computer or thumb drive. By using Adobe Acrobat, users can avoid printing this material altogether. For more information about the Adobe agreement with IU, please see http://kb.iu.edu/data/axuq.html.
For all students at all IU campuses, the number of print credits allotted each semester is based on the number of credit hours enrolled.
Standardized print credits allotted per semester
Enrollment status Allotment
Full-time (4 or more credit hours) 26
Part-time (3 or fewer credit hours) 13
Admitted, not enrolled 2
Managed print services for organizations-Managed print services aim to help students gain visibility and control of their printing, and to focus on the demand side, resulting in reducing waste and paper and saving money as you make more strategic, data-driven decisions. Managed print also helps improve environmental sustainability and document security. In this context, "printing" refers to the total cost of managing and optimizing your printers and their output and the people and processes that support these devices.

One.IU offers easier and more direct access to the multitude of services available for students, faculty, and staff. The goal for One.IU is to create a virtual campus community -- a place to study, work, collaborate, and have fun!

Materials recycled received from WestRock Recycling facility | https://www.westrock.com/
Materials disposed of in a solid waste landfill or incinerator, baseline, and performance year are the same-This is an estimated total ton of trash removed from campus in FY20. The calculation includes waste from the (11) 8-yard containers and one 30-yard container. There is no way for IUS to determine the exact tonnage because our service provider bills the university at a flat rate rather than by the tonnage rate.
