Healthier soils, resilient communities and circular economies through Colorado composting.

Mission of the Colorado Composting Council

The Colorado Composting Council champions the growth and success of the composting industry by advancing organics recycling, compost manufacturing, and strong end markets. As a proud state chapter of the US Composting Council, we drive progress through:

  • Advocacy that shapes supportive policies and advances access to organics recycling across the state
  • Research that fuels innovation
  • Standards and practices that ensure quality
  • Education that empowers professionals and the public
  • Market development that delivers lasting economic and environmental value

As a committee of Recycle Colorado and state chapter of the US Composting Council, we work to divert organic materials towards composting and to increase the availability of finished compost for key end markets, including agriculture. Guided by a strategic plan, we actively advance multiple projects to support these priorities.
