The preferred jury selection initiative called INBIONATEC completed waste 2, It was promoted by students and teachers from the San José de Casalans School in the city of Pampa de los Guanacos; Which aims to create a prototype biodegrader, using local materials for small-scale biogas production, as well as to raise awareness among students and families about the use of organic waste.
