Mulch ado about composting

U-M is working to shrink the amount of waste it sends to landfills by 40 percent by 2025. Its pre-consumer food waste composting program is transforming vegetative food waste from campus dining halls into organic matter that can be used as soil amendment or fertilizer. In 2011 alone, the program transformed 126 tons of food waste into compost.
