With relatively new infrastructure, a rapidly growing population, and a desire for a more sustainable campus, the Technological University of - Panama (UTP) seeks to create an advanced waste management system that accommodates all types of waste. By gathering information concerning current waste management, engaging with stakeholders, researching methods for recycling in Panama, and predicting future waste of the campus, we were able to create a comprehensive waste management plan for UTP emphasizing recycling and incorporating all classifications of waste.
