EMBI, grad student get $7,000 for Tosca study of shipping containers

The Environmental Management and Business Institute was recently awarded project funding from Tosca Ltd. to complete a life-cycle analysis of shipping containers used by the Green Bay company. Environmental Science and Policy grad student William Lobner will be supervised by EMBI associate director, John Arendt, in taking a closer look at the reusable plastic containers and corrugated containers used in Tosca’s poultry transportation sector. While not a large grant in terms of the University’s overall annual total, the $7,000 in corporate funding is seen as another positive indicator and natural outgrowth of the larger Career-Ready Internship Initiative started last year.
