In 2014, Penn State Berks advanced its recycling efforts by teaming up with PepsiCo Recycling to bring a PepsiCo Dream Machine kiosk to campus. As part of the collaboration, for the past two years, Penn State Berks completed PepsiCo’s nationwide college recycling challenge, which pits participating colleges and universities against one another in a competition that tracks recycling progress online at PepsiCoRecycling.com. Penn State Berks placed third and received prize money in 2015, and placed eighth this year.
In an effort to improve recycling efforts at the Penn State Berks, the college’s Sustainability Team sought the assistance of the Media Commons to develop a student written and produced video focusing on the PepsiCo Dream Machine, a convenient and rewarding way to recycle bottles and cans on the go in a kiosk in the Tully’s cafeteria in the Perkins Student Center.
