Common misconception…

Dehydrated food is NOT . The US Composting Council has launched a new web page with our position on food dehydrators, commonly called "kitchen composters," on e-commerce sites. As the page summarizes, "Those technologies whose output is accurately defined as dehydrated or pretreated materials, (which can be useful feedstock for the composting process or other applications), should not have 'compost' in their product name and marketing materials or imply in their product descriptions that they produce compost."

The newly launched Food Dehydrators page contains our position on these units, developed through the research of a subcommittee of the Legislation and Environmental Affairs Committee (LEAC), recommended by LEAC and approved by the USCC Board of Directors.

Members join the US Composting Council because one of our key purposes is to make sure our industry is successful, and sometimes that requires taking a stand on things that impact that success.
