A food digester was implemented on campus in 2018 to help reduce the amount of food waste sent to local landfills.
- To date, over 4 tons of food waste have been diverted, eliminating greenhouse gases relating to the hauling of that waste.
- NJCU uses organic and environmentally safe products which have resulted in substantially lower costs and lower maintenance, in its partnership with Gourmet Dining.
- The Digester system combines mechanical and biological processes to turn food waste into sewage allowing it to contribute water back into the sewer system.
