The ASU Supply Chain Management team found a sustainable alternative for single-use plastic K-Cups to reduce operating expenses and waste sent to ASU’s landfill.
From July through December 2023, University Services Building staff used 4,660 K-Cups®. The ASU Zero Waste department subsequently spent $1,289 to recycle the K-Cups via the Blue Bag Program.
The Supply Chain Management team believed offering reusable K-Cups® and disposing of used grounds in a nearby compost bin using the Office Compost Program would save money and reduce waste.
To implement their idea, a few SCM employees applied for a Sustainability Initiatives Revolving Fund grant to cover the cost of purchasing reusable K-Cups and coffee bean grinders to replace single-use K-Cups in the USB break area.
After receiving SIRF grant funding, SCM staff distributed a survey to gauge the interest in reusable K-Cups and coffee. They also held two events in April 2024 to build excitement about the transition, distribute reusable K-Cups and provide locally sourced and Fair Trade coffee. Approximately 250 K-Cups were distributed to USB employees.
The reusable K-Cup initiative is part of a larger effort by ASU Facilities Development and Management, Supply Chain Management, University Sustainability Practices and Zero Waste to reduce waste recycling costs and increase sustainability efforts in ASU office spaces. Reducing single-waste plastic and food waste will help ASU create a circular resource system and reach its 30% aversion and 90% diversion goals by 2025.
Refer to the sustainable purchasing webpage for more information and training on purchasing items that help meet ASU's sustainability goals. View the Reusable K-Cup Transition Quick Guide or email USP for details on transitioning your break areas and kitchenettes to reusable K-Cups.
ASU leadership and Workday project team members hosted a live hybrid town hall at the Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health Wednesday, July 31, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
They discussed ASU's upcoming transition to Workday HCM, an enterprise application combining the university’s finance, HR and payroll systems into one integrated system. Workday also provides modern features like AI-powered assistance, real-time analytics and more.
These university leaders participated:
- Morgan R. Olsen, executive vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer, Office of Business and Finance.
- Michael G. Latsko, vice president and chief human resources officer, Office of Human Resources.
- Chelsea Tyrrell, assistant vice president, Provost Operations, Office of the University Provost.

The Workday project team randomly selected two ASU employees to receive $50 Amazon gift cards for taking the recent Workday readiness survey.

Workday launches Dec. 23, 2024, and consolidates several university applications — Career EDGE, Kenexa BrassRing, PeopleSoft and more — into one efficient system.
In the coming months, the project team members will speak at unit and department meetings, town halls and other gatherings to share Workday previews and discuss the new system.
