A brief description of the post-consumer composting program:
At the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas we generate organic waste in gastronomic centers and cafeterias (although they are external to the university).
In order to reduce organic waste, we agreed with the "Faculdad de Ingeniería y Ciencias" of the University so that a part of the organic waste was used to generate compost. It is important to note that students are the ones who support this project by carrying out activities.
