To the Bruin community:
We are pleased to announce that UCLA Policy 809: Single-Use Plastics has been codified in UCLA’s Administrative Policies and Procedures (APP). I would like to extend a special thank you to all who assisted with the development of this policy or responded during the review period.
This policy aims to phase out the purchase and use of various single-use plastics so that the University can switch to more sustainable alternatives. Single-use plastics are a major cause of pollution, environmental degradation and human health impacts, and the entire UC system is taking this path to minimize single-use plastics.
You can find more information on the Single-Use Plastic Policy webpage. By December 1, we will also be posting an implementation guide to help campus entities with this transition and provide resources for alternative products.
Should you have any questions about this policy, please contact sustainability@ucla.edu.
Sincerely,
Michael Beck
Administrative Vice Chancellor
