Led by a collaborative student research team alongside the School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems, this initiative establishes implementable solutions and realistic timelines to divert 90% of campus material away from local landfills.\u00a0By adapting a multi-criteria decision assessment tool, the team is evaluating and ranking actionable zero-waste projects based on their environmental impact, greenhouse gas reductions, and economic return on investment.\u00a0Ultimately, this research initiative strengthens NAU&#8217;s partnership with the City of Flagstaff\u2019s sustainability goals while successfully transforming the mountain campus into a dynamic living laboratory for sustainability.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p>Annie Bachmayer, Joshua Rihs, Darren Bingham<\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor:<\/h5>\n<p>Richard Rushforth<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>2021-04-12<\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p>$4,400<\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p>SICCS<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/06\/Roadmap_to_Zero_Waste_2021_Research_Proposal.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3002,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5887","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3002"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5887"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5889,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5887\/revisions\/5889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
