Arizona State University is committed to using services and products that are more sustainable and reusing materials whenever possible.
Across the university, 95% of cleaning products are green certified, and in dining facilities, all cleaning products are certified by Ecolab's green seal.
ASU's print shop is Forest Stewardship Council and Sustainable Forestry Initiative certified, using soy inks and 100% recycled paper for all productions, including business cards, letterhead, envelopes, note pads, and note cards.
The environmental graphic design group at ASU’s sign shop designed a near-zero waste modular signage system that uses reusable, recyclable, low-emitting materials, and reclaims old signs for reuse.
ASU filters and stirs together odd lots of old paint for reuse on small projects around the campus and the community, in the process eliminating a hazardous waste.
ASU has established the Green Labs program to promote the reuse and sharing of laboratory chemicals. The program focuses on waste reduction, proper chemical disposal, as well as energy and resource conservation.
