Illinois Food Scrap & Composting Coalition

The Illinois Food Scrap & Composting Coalition (IFSCC) advances diversion and composting of all organic material in Illinois through advocacy, program implementation, market and business development, policy, and outreach.

The Illinois Food Scrap & Composting Coalition (IFSCC) grew out of a half-day forum on food scrap composting held at the GreenTown Highland Park event in October 2012. SGA and partners including solid waste agencies, advocates, and government entities founded the coalition as a vehicle for advancing food scrap composting across Illinois through policy, education, programs and initiatives.

SGA is a founding organization and sustaining partner of IFSCC. SGA staff members sit on the IFSCC board, lead the Education Committee, and chair the IFSCC Young Professionals Group.

IFSCC is now a nonprofit organization that holds monthly meetings, engages in advocacy and outreach efforts throughout the state, and coordinates International Compost Awareness Week.
