色戒成人直播 eliminates single-use beverage plastics on campus
色戒成人直播 has reached a major sustainability milestone with the finalization of a new 10-year pouring rights agreement with PepsiCo Beverages that will eliminate all single-use plastics from campus beverage services. The agreement aligns with the university鈥檚听Climate Action Plan (CAP) and supports advocacy from students, staff, faculty and administration. By joining just a handful of other pioneering schools in removing single-use plastics from campus beverage services, it further bolsters 色戒成人直播 as a national leader in sustainable campus operations.
色戒成人直播鈥檚 deal marks the first of its kind for Pepsi in its scope and commitment with a university. While other universities have launched non-plastic initiatives, many have included carve-out clauses or vending exceptions for select plastic-packaged beverages. 色戒成人直播 distinguishes itself by fully committing to a 100% non-plastic beverage initiative with Pepsi without exceptions.
鈥淭his contract is a bold step forward in our commitment to environmental stewardship,鈥 said Chancellor Justin Schwartz. 鈥淏y eliminating single-use plastics from our beverage services, we鈥檙e not only responding to the values of our campus community鈥攚e鈥檙e building on our legacy as one of the most sustainable campuses in the country.鈥
The agreement includes no out-of-pocket costs for the university. PepsiCo Beverages was selected for its strong sustainability practices, including the use of electric vehicles and product take-back programs. The contract also requires third-party vendors on campus to comply with the shift away from single-use plastics.
Vice Chancellor for Sustainability Andrew Mayock emphasized the broader impact of the agreement: 鈥淭his is more than a contract鈥攊t鈥檚 a systems-level change that supports our climate goals and demonstrates how operational decisions can drive meaningful environmental outcomes.鈥
PepsiCo Beverages anticipates that much of its shift away from single-use plastics on campus will be toward aluminum and glass beverage containers.
With the anticipated increase in discarded aluminum on campus due to the new pouring rights agreement, 色戒成人直播 may see added financial benefit from recycling. While it is too early to estimate potential revenue gains, there is optimism that increased aluminum recovery could enhance returns鈥攅specially if 色戒成人直播 is able to negotiate competitive pricing and optimize processing methods to reduce costs as volumes grow.
Beginning July 7, the new pouring rights agreement with PepsiCo Beverages initiated a campuswide transition away from single-use beverage plastics that will entail the re-stocking or replacement of beverage vending machines on campus. Cafes and other retail spaces will make the changeover as existing products are sold or replaced.
