<p>The Center for Culinary Excellence (CCE) is home to one of <a href="https://green.nd.edu/news/new-system-to-tackle-nonconsumable-food-waste-contribute-to-clean-energy-needs-of-local-farm/">three food waste systems that reduce non-consumable food waste</a> from the dining halls and the CCE by 99 percent. These Grind2Energy systems will reduce overall waste, campus-wide, by 10 percent, or 700,000 pounds per year. That’s waste that would otherwise combine with other trash to produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in local landfills. The North and South Dining Halls are home to the remaining two G2E locations.</p>
