Post-Landfill Action Network provides waste reduction strategy for universities
Philadelphia-based non-profit supports campus-led zero waste initiatives through professional advising and structured assessment frameworks.
Post-Landfill Action Network (PLAN) operates as a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting higher education institutions in developing and implementing zero-waste systems. By providing professional guidance and structured training, the group helps campus stakeholders manage materials more efficiently and reduce institutional landfill dependency.
Central to its operations is the Atlas Zero Waste framework, which offers universities a standardized approach to benchmarking and planning their sustainability systems. The organization assists schools in executing practical projects, such as surplus property redistribution, the introduction of reusable container programs, and waste reduction strategies tailored for student move-out periods.
In addition to technical advising, PLAN engages in advocacy regarding the lifecycle impacts of plastic and petrochemical products. By connecting student-led initiatives with expert resources and cohort-based support, the organization seeks to provide a roadmap for long-term sustainability within academic institutions.
