KCI a <br /> analyzed all data gathered during the WCS and , - <br /> provided the university with valuable information on <br /> recyclable materials present in the waste stream and <br /> opportunities to recover those materials. <br /> The final report provided insight into materials that <br /> are included in the university's current programs, but <br /> still prevalent in the waste stream, as well as �I <br /> additional materials that could be recovered to aid <br /> the university as it strives to achieve higher diversion goals. The results also helped the university <br /> understand the specific compositions of academic buildings, residence halls, dining facilities, and mixed- <br /> use facilities which will assist the university in providing building-specific programs and corresponding <br /> outreach materials. By collecting samples of waste over a 24-hour period, KCI was able to estimate <br /> waste generation rates for each building, which were used to weight each sector when calculating the <br /> campus-wide waste stream. <br /> kessler consulting inc. <br /> Proposals 2018\Orange Co Proposal-final 12 innovative waste solutions <br />
