Project Description:
This project aims to transform Lehigh’s plastic recycling on campus through awareness and education campaigns, striving for an 60% reduction in the contamination levels of Lehigh’s recycling streams. Students would develop marketing signage to test methods of educating the campus community about contamination, including an understanding of the different ways that recycling loads can become contaminated and therefore become useless for recycling, and implement them throughout campus. All majors welcome, but we have specific needs for students with an understanding of computer science, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, and/or supply chain management.
