USCC member Compost Manufacturing Alliance (CMA), along with Myno Carbon and Washington State University (Puyallup research campus), are now taking submissions (extended deadline for submissions is November 25, 2025) to launch a field study to evaluate how adding biochar to compost feedstocks impacts the disintegration of certified compostable products. Two parallel aerated static piles, one treated with 15% biochar and one control pile, will process tagged products side-by-side to compare disintegration results in a modern ASP system.
Why participate:
• Shared study funding lowers per-product submission for this research
• Blind, confidential results for submitters
• Access to composting, product development, and materials experts
