The Recycling and Reuse Technology Transfer Center strives to promote environmental sustainability to the University, local community and all across the state. A huge part of this mission is accomplished through education and various outreach activities. In this section, you will find information on recycling and sustainability on the UNI campus, locally, and across the state. You will also find information on what the RRTTC is doing specifically and how we are involved in helping to promote recycling and sustainable practices.
