1. Zero Waste Marker
Game days and campus events are some of the largest producers of waste At Ohio State, we work to make events "zero waste" by diverting nearly all disposed materials away from the land. During the football season, nearly all disposables collected in Ohio Stadium are recycled, repurposed or composted.
Ohio State University is a recognized leader in developing durable solutions to the pressing challenges of sustainability.
