UMaine waste study, composting facility cited in Press Herald article
A 2011 study by the University of Maine School of Economics was cited in a Portland Press Herald article on composting in Maine. The study found 38.41 percent of what Mainers disposed of could have been composted. Plenty of Maine supermarkets, corporate customers, schools and other institutions have already embraced composting, according to the article, which also cited UMaine’s on-campus composting facility.
