Zero Waste Athletics is a student group at the University of Virginia, which focuses on reducing the landfill waste produced by concessions at athletic events by 90%, diverting the waste into recycling and composting. Zero Waste Athletics strives to reach this goal by introducing a composting waste stream, by introducing compostable or recyclable concession packaging, and through the support of housekeeping staff, concession staff, volunteers and spectators. To receive the support of these groups, Zero Waste Athletics must educate them on the best practices of implementing these new methods. Currently, Zero Waste Athletics is focusing on bringing “zero waste” to the John Paul Jones Basketball Arena at the University of Virginia.

Our team has assisted the Zero Waste Athletics Initiative through the creation of educational materials that will spread awareness and knowledge of the concept of zero waste to student volunteers, John Paul Jones Arena employees, and all spectators at JPJ, including students and Charlottesville residents.
