Zero Waste is a team effort!
Chou Hall, Cheit Hall, and the E-Hub are Zero Waste Buildings

Everyone who studies, works, teaches, or uses our buildings and systems has influence.
Every choice—from how we design and use spaces to how we consume energy and resources—shapes our environmental impact.
Integrating Zero Waste practices into your event planning and utilizing our guides and resources is how YOU can make sustainable choices and help Haas achieve our sustainability goals.
