Sustainability, what is that?  Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.  Although sustainability is a relatively new term, Purdue Housing and Food Services has always been committed to recycling and various sustainability practices.  We look at ways to not only reuse or recycle materials but to avoid consuming resources in the first place.  As the largest recycler on campus, we recycle tons of materials each year from construction materials to cardboard to aluminum to plastics and office paper.  These sustainability practices help us lead the campus and community as an efficient division and as a good steward of our planet’s resources.
