1 RECYCLING & TRASH REPORT FY 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 2010, Temple University adopted its Climate Action Plan, which addresses the role of recycling and waste minimization as part of its comprehensive efforts to reduce the university s carbon footprint. The plan established a goal of increasing the recycling rate to 40% and reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions derived from land-filled solid waste by 10% by 2015 relative to its 2006 baseline levels. Temple met both of these goals by Temple s recycling (diversion) rate increased from 44% in FY 2014 to 45% in FY Since 2006, Temple has increased recycling by 861 tons (a 61% increase) and reduced waste by 1,613 tons (a 36% reduction). The university has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions attributed to solid waste by 7,338 MTeCO 2 from 2006 to 2015 (a 54% reduction). This is the equivalent to the CO 2 emissions that come from burning 7,881,847 pounds of coal. In an effort to track university trends in recycling and waste minimization efforts, Temple University s Office of Sustainability prepares an annual Recycling & Trash Report. Recycling and trash data is provided by university affiliates and compiled by the Office of Sustainability into one report. Below is a summary of recycling and trash data for FY FY 2015 Materials Summary Reporting Building/Campus Recycling Trash Combined Main, Podiatry, HSC, Ambler 2, , , Residence Halls -* Gittis Student Center -* Liacouras Center Total Tons Collected 2, , , % of Combined Total 45% 55% Total Cost $45,293 $409,895 $455,188 Cost Per Ton $19.91 $ $89.20 *Recycling materials (including compost) are included with Main Campus April 2016 Page 1
2 Tons Collected FY 2015 Recycling & Trash Report In FY 2015, core recycling materials made up 38% of total recyclables and secondary material recycling, such as compost, made up 14% of total recyclables. 1 Special materials accounted for the greatest portion of recyclables at 48%. Total waste stream amounts are illustrated below. FY 2015 Waste Stream Percentages Trash (2,827 tons) 55% Recycling (2,275 tons) 45% Secondary Materials 6% Core Materials 17% Special Materials 21% From FY 2014 to FY 2015, total waste decreased by 523 tons (9%). Waste reduction was evident for both recycling and trash amounts. The graph below compares recycling and trash in terms of total tons collected and their percentages of the overall waste stream. From 2006 to 2015, there has been an increase in recycling percentages, as well as a general decrease in the total tons collected. Tons Collected to % 71.7% 71.5% 67.7% 69.7% 67.1% 65.2% 63.8% 43.8% 56.2% 44.6% 55.4% % 28.3% 28.5% 32.3% 30.3% 32.9% 34.8% 36.2% FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 FY2015 Recycling Trash 1 Core materials include plastics, metals, paper and cardboard April 2016 Page 2
3 Cost per Ton FY 2015 Recycling & Trash Report The cost per ton of recycling versus trash from 2006 to 2015 is shown in the graph below. In general, recycling costs have decreased and trash costs per ton have increased. In FY 2015, Temple experienced $125 savings per ton of materials diverted from the landfill, amounting approximately to a $282,214 savings. $ $ $ $ Cost per Ton to 2015 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $80.00 $60.00 $40.00 $20.00 $0.00 $30.19 $34.10 $34.31 $23.94 $27.03 $28.91 $23.51 $17.23 $19.91 $ FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 FY2015 Recycling Trash FY 2015 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Composting: Temple implemented a composting program in the Student Center food court, where patrons could dispose food scraps and containers in designated bins. In its first month of operation, Temple diverted tons of material from the landfill. The program contributed to the 36% decrease in Gittis trash from FY 2014 to Dining: The Rad Dish Co-op Café, a student-run sustainable food café which opened in January 2015, composts preconsumer food scraps with Temple Community Garden, provides reusable plates and mugs for those who wish to dine in and offers discounted coffee prices for reusable travel mugs. Reusable china and serviceware were introduced to the second floor Morgan Hall Dining Facility, replacing the disposable take-out containers that were previously used. E-Waste: Temple s Computer Recycling Center (CRC) recycled or refurbished 51 tons of computers, continuing the trend of keeping e-waste out of the trash stream. Education and Outreach: Temple continues to promote its recycling plan on social media through event like Caught Green Handed, and holds various waste minimization themed presentations and programming throughout the year. Move-Out: Temple hosted the first ever Temple Thrift, an event which provided space for students to sell and purchase lightly used items such as clothes, books, decorations, and small household goods. The Residential Hall Give + Go Green initiative was also continued, diverting 2.52 tons of usable goods from the landfill. RecycleMania 2015: Temple continued to participate in the annual RecycleMania competition, collecting 333,934 pounds of recyclables and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 717 MTeCO 2 over the course of the 8-week event. Water Bottle Filling Stations: Temple installed three additional water bottle filling stations to reduce the number of single use bottles. Since its inception in FY 2011, the program has diverted over 4 million single use bottles from the landfill. April 2016 Page 3
