What’s Inside:
- Detailed insights into policies from all 50 states
- Issue areas including organic waste bans, organic waste by-product procurement, food recovery, and date labeling
- Summaries of bill content
- Status updates on each bill tracked
- All information updated quarterly with the latest policy news!

“You can’t influence what you don’t know about. Our goal was to create a tool that gives people clarity on what they have the power to influence, not just legislation that already exists.”
