🌱 Calling All Emerging Composters! 🌱

Applications are now open for the COMPOST2027 Emerging Composter Challenge, hosted by the US Composting Council. If you're building something bold in the composting space—a new venture, a pilot program, an innovative approach to organics recovery—this is your chance to showcase your work to industry leaders at COMPOST2027.

Gain visibility, connect with fellow emerging composters, and win funding for your compost project! Whether you're just getting started or scaling up, we want to hear your story.

Application closes November 30, 2026

The ECC is open to college students, recent graduates, and small businesses engaged in or supporting organic recycling. Participants must have 5 years or less of industry-related experience.

If you have any questions regarding your project's eligibility, please email Sky Pisarski at spisarski@gmail.com. You can find more information on the Emerging Composter Challenge webpage.
