Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
The CFWC is involved in the implementation of an EMS in UMass Lowell’s Olney Hall on north campus as members of the Recycling Team (one of seven teams) dedicated to setting up an efficient recycling program for cans, paper, solvents, virgin chemicals and food waste.
The CFWC is also working in partnership with the Environmental Management Systems Services Program on a Community EMS Initiative funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Community EMS Initiative is an innovative approach to EMS implementation that develops an EMS among a cluster of organizations in a single community.
