The Life of Your Leftovers

The video explains the process of composting food waste from a cafeteria. It highlights the importance of disposing leftovers in compost bins to prevent waste from rotting in landfills. The waste is processed through a system that turns it into pulp, which is then transported to a compost plant. The plant transforms the pulp into mulch, which is sold in stores.
