Document Summary

Implementing an in-vessel composting system at trent university. The focus of my proposed project paper is to highlight the issues with the current composing system at trent university, and to transform the current program into a more efficient, in- vessel system. On top of being a fool proof waste diversion tactic for trent university, the proposed in-vessel composting system could very potentially educate and act as a catalyst for other universities and colleges to follow suit. Trent university is currently searching for a new composting program to be implemented, for anonymous reasons. This research paper will allow me to explore, analyze and critique the current composting system that exists within.

Large quantities of these wastes are placed alongside wastes being placed in landfills. Facilities and institutions such as trent universities generate considerable amounts of waste.
