A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

The Sustainable Composting Research at Princeton (S.C.R.A.P.) Lab is a distinctive campus demonstration project that uses the campus as a living laboratory and advances sustainable operations.

In addition to converting campus food scraps into a nutrient-rich soil amendment for campus grounds, the project actively supports academic research around food scraps conversion which is a topic of growing interest that can benefit from more applied testing and performance assessment in the context of federal and state targets increasingly calling for drastic cuts in wasted food.
