Closing the Loop

Georgia Tech is closing the loop on campus through comprehensive composting efforts in all seven dining halls.

By switching to sustainable, BPI-Certified compostable packaging made from plants like bamboo, corn, and sugar beets, and working with Compost Now, a local composting service provider, to date, Georgia Tech has diverted 1 million pounds of waste from landfills. 

Here’s what you can do:

• When there are leftovers — fruits, veg, crust, the last bit of scrambled eggs, and even chicken bones…
• Whenever you see the BPI-Certified logo on a to-go container, plate, cup and lid, or napkin…
  — toss these items in the Compost Bins in the dining halls. 

Remember — avoid food waste whenever possible and less is more when it comes to any type of packaging! Learn more about the closed-loop approach with Better Earth Compostable Packaging and Compost Now below.

Thank you for increasing Georgia Tech’s impact by composting food scraps and compostable packaging!
