University Has Policies Around Minimization of Disposable Items

Lyceum-Northwestern University has put in place comprehensive policies focused on use minimization and the responsible disposal of disposable items, particularly contaminated waste. These policies emphasize reducing reliance on single-use plastics and other disposable products, while promoting reusable alternatives and sustainable practices throughout campus operations. The protocols ensure that waste, particularly hazardous or contaminated materials, is disposed of properly to prevent environmental contamination and health risks. By setting clear guidelines for the safe handling, segregation, and disposal of waste, LNU fosters a culture of environmental responsibility and safety. These efforts are not only aligned with global sustainability goals but also create a cleaner, healthier campus environment, empowering students, faculty, and staff to contribute to a more sustainable future.
