What We Do

The Compost Research & Education Foundation works to increase public awareness and understanding of composting by supporting outreach, developing resources, and leading local and national campaigns that highlight its importance to long-term sustainability. We foster scientific research that strengthens composting principles, processes, product uses, and analytical standards, building on our reputation for credibility and rigor. In addition, we advance the stature and practice of the composting industry by providing professional development opportunities and sharing best practices across the field.
