The Sustainability Department at Marshall University in West Virginia is partnering with Sodexo to support the school’s creation of the XACT Systems BioReactor, the state’s first commercial composter and the first technology of its kind in the world to be used at a university, according to Marshall’s Sustainability Department.
The department’s sustainability manager, Amy Parsons-White, spearheaded the project, collaborating with multiple university departments to gather a campus wide collection of office paper and landscape trimmings that would contribute to usable compost.
