Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Mortality composting
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
mortality composting
Due to the fact that we have a veterinary program and a service and teaching center, the presence of dead animals that constitute negative impacts is inevitable and sometimes the owners do not have a way to make a final disposal that does not generate negative impacts.
A mortality composting service was implemented, one of the most significant impact reductions being the reduction of emissions (NOx), due to the non-incineration of this matter, as well as the replacement of nitrogenous fertilizers with organic fertilizers.
With the money that the center saves for the purchase of compost or fertilizers, savings are generated that are used to support students with economic difficulties. In 2021, $9,631,584 were saved, having a disposal weight of 5,048 Kg and composting produced of 3,029 Kg. In 2020, the material to be composted increased by 79.5%, and the biotransformed product increased by 79.3%. with savings in disposal by third parties of $18.984.600 COP.
