Resumen

Organic waste management has become a global challenge in light of population growth, urbanization, and the need to move toward circular economy models. Approximately 50% of the waste generated worldwide consists of organic matter. In this context, composting emerges as a sustainable alternative that allows waste recovery, reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers, and generates environmental, social, and economic benefits. Based on this, we set out to promote the implementation of a composting system at the Faculty of Economics and Administration located in the city of Neuquén (FAEA), considering this practice feasible due to the amount of organic waste produced. In addition, we observed a strong willingness from the university community, as shown in the results section. Furthermore, we intend for this work to serve as a foundation for future research and the implementation of similar practices in academic settings.
