<\/div>\r\nCommunity composting encompasses making and using compost within the same community where the material is generated and involving the community in some way. When composting is locally based, community participation and education can flourish. ILSR has long championed community composting<\/a> as a zero waste strategy that maximizes the benefits of composting for local communities. We facilitate a national <\/span>Community Composter Coalition<\/a><\/strong>, track community composters on our <\/span>Composting for Community map<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and have produced myriad resources to help this sector advance (infographics, webinars, podcasts, guides, and more). <\/span>\r\n\r\nILSR\u2019s March 2023 report,<\/span> A Growing Movement: 2022 Community Composter Census, <\/i><\/b>is the first census of community composters to track the nature and growth of this sector, identify its key challenges, and demonstrate its benefits. \"\"<\/a><\/span>\r\n\r\nFeaturing more than 50 figures and graphics, <\/span>A Growing Movement: 2022 Community Composter Census<\/i><\/b> highlights the diversity of geographic and demographic representation, composting methods, composting feedstocks and output, employment, and community impact in the sector. The report is divided into five sections on (1) census participants, (2) composting operations, (3) growth, (4) community impact, and (5) challenges. Co-authors Clarissa Libertelli, Brenda Platt, and Megan Matthews hope this report will serve as a valuable resource in tracking the growth of the community composting movement.<\/span>\r\n
