Abstract
This project aims to address the waste caused by non-biodegradable plastics used for Virginia Tech Dining Services. These plastics create a huge carbon footprint and comprise a majority of Virginia Tech's material waste. This project describes alternative uses for these non-biodegradable materials and ways to recycle and reuse them in the context of dining services at Virginia Tech.
