A brief description of the plan of action to achieve waste reduction goals:
Mills College has a goal of Zero Waste, a whole system approach toward achieving the most efficient use of our resources. At Mills, we conserve and reuse materials first, then maximize diversion of materials from the landfill into recycling and compost systems. We also purchase recycled materials for everyday use, such as 100% post-consumer context copy paper.
