31% of waste in the US consists of containers or packaging.
Prior to the development of the Office of Energy and Sustainability, Weill Cornell Medicine campus-wide sustainability efforts were managed through the Sustainability Leadership Council. The council was comprised of employees from central administration as well as from clinical departments. The council led sustainability planning and coordinated efforts across departments to reduce waste and conserve energy.
