There are some factors that should influence the university's performance in the upcoming year. These include:
- Continued attention to energy efficiency should show continued progress in energy and GHG emissions.
- New glass and clothing recycling programs will benefit the recycling rate by reducing materials currently going to the landfills.
- A new food waste composter will further reduce campus waste by converting it into a soil amendment that can be used on campus.
- Restrooms are being renovated throughout the campus, and new water-efficient fixtures are replacing old inefficient fixtures.
- Behavior change programs continue to engage members of the HKUST community in ways that encourage conservation and the efficient use of resources.
