Most of us don't have very fond memories of college cafeteria food.While times have certainly changed as universities realized that food can actually attract students you have to wonder what happens to all that uneaten food?
It used to become trash but thanks to Kurtz Bros. affiliate Quasar Energy Group food waste from The Ohio State University is now recycled to make electricity:
"Don’t feel bad if you can’t finish your sandwich at the Ohio Union. It’s headed for brighter things — like powering someone’s home. Thanks to the addition of a food pulper, which turns organic waste into a byproduct with multiple uses, the union doesn’t need garbage disposals, reducing its waste output and water usage.
The innovations at the union are just the start of greener days to come at Ohio State. Plans are underway to divert all the university’s organic waste to a Columbus biogas facility like the one operated in Wooster by Quasar Energy Group at the new BioHio Research park. Set to begin operations in September, the Columbus plant will ultimately process 25,000 tons of waste per year and will generate enough power to run 1,000 homes and businesses."
