HSU OZZI analysis

Template:ENGR308inprogress

This is a research project in partnership between Engr308 Technology and the Environment and The Sustainability Office and HSU Dining at Humboldt State University during Fall 2017. The project includes analyzing the various impacts of OZZIs impacts on campus. Client leads are:

• Katie Koscielak, Sustainability Analyst
• Ron Rudebock, Director of Dining Services

Our object is to analyze the impacts of OZZIs on campus and the effects of HSU's policy regarding OZZIs versus disposables. A secondary goal is work towards a recommendation regarding the policy. Impacts will be focused primarily on $, CO₂, and Energy. Final products will include:

• Quantification of impacts over OZZI life cycle
• Quantification of impacts over OZZI-similar disposable life cycle
• A spreadsheet for HSU specific impacts with clear instruction, outputs and referenced sources. This spreadsheet will include best estimates of the current disposable versus OZZI landscape gathered from dining data, surveys, and observations. These numbers will be adjustable by the clients and shared for other schools or communities to adapt.
• A graph of the number of times an OZZI must be reused before it buys back its energy in comparison to various disposables (and possibly other reusables).
• Some compelling graphics.

HSU eating vessels

• Where do HSU's OZZIs come from?
• Where do HSU's other related disposable eating containers come from?
• What are HSU's other disposable eating containers made from?
