Building a robust food scrap recycling industry in illinois
The Illinois Food Scrap & Composting Coalition (IFSCC) is a thriving non-profit organization advancing diversion and composting of all organics in Illinois through advocacy, program implementation, market and business development, policy, and outreach.
Upcoming Events
Speaker Spotlight: Zero Food Waste Coalition (ZFWC) joins IFSCC to give a federal backdrop of food systems change efforts. Tori Oto will provide information about proposed U.S bipartisan legislation addressing food date labeling which could ultimately reduce food waste by distinguishing between quality and safety dates. Food loss and waste is at an all-time high—but it’s preventable. Learn how more and more organizations are joining the ZFWC. Email admin@illinoiscomposts.org for link to join.
