A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn (i.e. one-year time period or representative sample):
This data includes expenditures from Stanford's primary waste contractor, UG2, as well as Stanford Athletics' waste contractor, TQM in 2018.
UG2 strives to be the industry leader in client-driven technology solutions, Green Cleaning programs, and other sustainability and energy services, as discussed on their website: https://ug2.com/ Additionally, TQM has promised to "protect student and staff health and the environment by using Green cleaning products and equipment. The use of green cleaning products and practices supports the goal of maintaining a healthy, safe, and clean environment for students, faculty, and staff."
Finally, Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE), which operates in-house custodial services for approximately one-third of the campus, has moved to a Tersano-based green cleaning system. Tersano is water-based, so expenditures for this product are not included in either the total spend or the green spend figures above.
