Coal Geology & Exploration
Foundation engineering slurry in the fields of underground continuous walls, horizontal directional drilling, shield, and pipe jacking has the characteristics of large amount of consumption and relatively single pollutant. With the implementation of various national environmental protection laws and regulations, the comprehensive treatment of slurries is particularly important. In this paper, a set of comprehensive recycling utilization technology of foundation engineering slurry was proposed. The technology of sand removal plus recycling of purified slurry and drilling cuttings can be adopted to the circulating slurry, and the technology of calcium removing, pH reducing, flocculation separation, pressure filtration and recycling of wastewater …

Anthropology: Undergraduate Student Scholarship
This project sought to investigate barriers, facilitators, and behavioral patterns related to waste diversion on the University of Denver (DU) campus. In general, waste diversion can be defined as the methods of disposing of waste that prevent it from being deposited in a landfill. At the University of Denver, waste diversion is achieved primarily through recycling and composting. It is these two methods that our report will focus on.

Research Learning Experiences (RLEs)
Students in the Fall 2022 First-year Fusion course titled “The Sustainable Campus” used the UMF campus as a learning laboratory to examine how principles of environmental sustainability and stewardship are put into practice in their own academic backyard. Throughout the semester, they researched, observed, visited, assessed, and reported on a host of sustainability-related initiatives undertaken over the years at UMF. In this final project presentation, the class offers its recommendations on how UMF can continue its mission to maintain an environmentally aware and sustainably operated campus.
Circular Economy And The Potential For Extended Producer Responsibility Policies, Erin Quinn
Circular Economy And The Potential For Extended Producer Responsibility Policies, Erin Quinn
Senior Honors Projects, 2020-current
This thesis was developed based on an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Policy briefing I created during my internship at RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment) during the summer of 2021. This project expands upon the work created during the internship. It examines the connection between circular economy and EPR policies, as well as how they can create effective strategies for waste reduction and recycling in the U.S. It demonstrates how the current linear economic system under which the U.S operates and its connection to single-stream recycling are inefficient at best. The thesis then describes how a circular economy (CE) …
