| USCC 'STRIVE FOR 5%' PROGRAM |
A1
is a contracted
Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) participant with the United
States Composting Council (USCC).
 The US Composting Council launched a ‘Strive for 5%’ organic matter campaign in late 2011, in conjunction with the introduction of the Consumer Compost Use Program. The Consumer Compost Use Program (CCUP) was developed by the USCC to provide a
simple way for the consumer to select with confidence a commercially produced compost that meets the STA requirements, as well as a defined list of attributes and analytical information targeted for use in 3 general use categories:
- Trees and Shrubs
- Flower and Vegetable
Gardens
- Lawns
 The EPA also supports the Compost Use Program. Click here for more information from their website.
Look
for the USCC icons on product
information sheets when selecting a compost
for your use. All
composts are NOT created equally!!! Watch for
more information to come on the CCUP
program. |
