Our next EPP Roadshow will be in early April 2020! More details will be available soon.

At the roadshow, products that produce less waste than their counterparts or are made out of recycled content are showcased. All products being displayed have been carefully vetted to ensure that they align with zero waste product standards. For example, Pilot’s B2P (Bottle to Pen) is a pen made out of recycled plastic water bottles, which means it is a #1 PET plastic and is readily recyclable. It is also refillable which allows for the continual use of the pen while only throwing away the empty ink cartridge.
During the event, samples of the products are distributed and building occupants are educated on waste reduction and why the selected products are environmentally preferred. Thus far, EPP Road Shows have been held at the Campus Shared Services Center, California Hall, Wurster Hall, the Haas School of Business, the Valley and Life Sciences Building (VLSB), Li Ka Shing, and Stanley Hall.
