Rocket Composter for CSI Sustainability
In order to improve waste diversion at CSI, CSI Sustainability in partnership with Dining Services began processing all of the pre-consumer food waste in 2020. To keep up with the growing demand we need the Rocket Composter to turn the food waste into compost. The Rocket Composter will allow us to significantly increase compost production for our campus grounds. This initiative will help lower our carbon footprint, enrich our green spaces, and engage students in hands-on sustainability practices.
