Abstract
What began in 2015 as a waste audit that revealed high-generation of compostable material has led to a multi-year, multi-project implementation plan of compostable material collection in buildings across Argonne National Laboratory’s campus. Argonne’s commitment has diverted over 65 tons from the landfill since 2018.
