Hello waste SWATeam and Ben,

As you know, the iCAP called for a Zero Waste Policy to be developed, and we have a draft for a CAM policy (attached). 

I’m not sure a CAM policy is the best solution, so I asked around for information about where campus policies usually reside and I was given the following info.  As the SWATeams are approved to move forward to the next phase, it would be great to have iSEE and the iCAP SWATeam take the lead on getting a formal Zero Waste Policy adopted. 

• Campus Administrative Manual: http://cam.illinois.edu/
• Policy and Rules for Civil Service Staff: https://nessie.uihr.uillinois.edu/cf/policies/index.cfm?Item_id=390
• State Universities Civil Service System Statute and Rules: http://www.sucss.illinois.gov/sar.aspx?osm=c43
• Business and Financial Policies and Procedures: http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/bfpp/
• Senate Resolutions – difficult to enforce
• Chancellor directives (ex. LED Campus)

Ben, Bart, and I have discussed this over the last few months, and I believe it is most appropriate advancing to campus decision makers through the iCAP process rather than through F&S.  Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,  Morgan

Dear Purchasing, Waste, and Recycling SWATeam,   I just wanted to add my $0.02 that I concur with Morgan that it makes sense to pursue the review and approval of a Zero Waste Policy through the SWATeam process, and your team is clearly the right one for this task.  Cheers,  Ben

I like the idea. If there is an agreement, we can discuss the policy itself in our next meeting.
