As organizations pursue zero waste goals, many struggle to translate ambition into measurable, operational progress. While strategies and policies are well-defined, a lack of continuous, actionable data often limits the ability to evaluate what’s working and drive improvement.
This panel brings together leaders from higher education and corporate sustainability programs to explore how data and AI are being used to inform zero-waste strategies, test interventions, and accelerate progress toward certification goals such as TRUE.
Through real-world examples, including Boston University’s ongoing signage experiment and corporate zero-waste initiatives, panelists will share how they are using data to better understand behavior, measure impact, and make more informed operational decisions.
Attendees will leave with practical insights into how organizations at different stages of their zero-waste journey are leveraging data to move from intention to measurable results.
