Second Century Initiative Fellow Uses International Business Degree Program to Solve Waste Management Issues in the U.S.
Second Century Initiative (2CI) Fellow Sarah Ku is working to find a solution to something that’s puzzling local governments in the U.S. and the West: managing large amounts of waste that other countries aren’t accepting for recycling.
Ku is interested in researching waste management in China. From a business standpoint, she wants to discover ways to aid China in controlling waste after consumption and then design and develop marketing strategies to market those ideas for implementation in American markets.
To aid with waste management across the world, Ku is looking into the marketability of using insects to mitigate waste. Ku said insects can be an effective source for waste consumption and have been applied in different industries around the world.
