Join us for our next Compost Café on May 8th at 10am EDT to celebrate International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW)! 

ICAW  is the largest and most comprehensive education initiative in       the compost industry. The goal is to work together to raise public  awareness on why we all should be composting our organics and using  compost. Throughout the week of ICAW, community, school, government, and  business events are held to encourage and celebrate composting - all types of composting – from backyard to large-scale.
 

 This year, ICAW partnered with the International Compost Alliance (ICA)       to select the theme: For Healthier Soil, Healthier Food…Compost!
 

Join us  as we share stories from New Jersey counties, communities  & businesses on diverting food waste, educating about the  benefits of sustainable organics management and celebrating ICAW!

 What does it mean for composters to render cannabis unusable?
Half the country has legal cannabis in some form, but NJ officially legalized recreational use just weeks ago. That means we're likely to see a big uptake in organic waste. Whether you're in NJ or anywhere in the world we hope you'll join us to explore this topic. 

• What does it mean for Cannabis producers handling new volumes of material?
• What challenges are there for making sure the excess is handled in a sustainable manner?
• How can we take advantage of this new opportunity responsibly? 

Our experts will cover these questions and many more!
