Transforming Waste: The Power of Composting

The video discusses the significant issue of waste production in Britain, highlighting the traditional reliance on landfill sites and the environmental concerns associated with them. It introduces research conducted by Cardiff-based scientists who are exploring composting as a solution to manage municipal waste. By actively managing the composting process, they aim to transform waste into a valuable resource, thus reducing the burden on landfill sites globally.
