Reduce, reuse, recycle


Five research projects at WSU have been awarded “Organic Waste to Resources” grants by the Washington State Department of Ecology. The grants belong to the department’s Beyond Waste Plan which aims to reclaim all waste materials through recovery systems in the next 30 years, in hopes of creating sustainable reclamation statewide.

The five projects include: converting Washington biomass to bioethanol, organic soil amendments, turning waste organic material into a soil amendment, and using bio-refineries to convert softwood bark to transportation.
