Healthy beverage initiatives: A case study of scenarios for optimizing their environmental benefits on a university campus

UCSB dining provided data for 2213 beverage purchases for one calendar year (2018-2019), comprising item name, purchasing unit (number and size of beverage containers), number of units, container material, and purchase location (vending machine, all other). To these categories we added mixing ratio (for fountain drinks), SSB (sugar sweetened beverage) status, beverage type and sugar content for three categories of sugar (added, non-added, unspecified) based on our research.
