fund the future
CCN sponsors fund the education, events, and connections that help composters and haulers find and secure the capital they need to grow.
CCN sponsors fund the education, events, and connections that help composters and haulers find and secure the capital they need to grow.
The composting industry is growing fast — but composters and haulers are often left without the financial knowledge, networks, and visibility needed to access capital to grow. Sponsorship funds the programs and events that change that.
Sponsorship funds webinars, panels, and Insights Reports that help composters and haulers understand their financing options — from SBA loans to private equity — and make informed decisions for their businesses.
CCN events and programs create direct connections between composters, haulers, and capital providers who actually want to invest in this industry. No more searching blind — the right people in the room.
Sponsorship supports the CCN Business Accelerator, which helps composting businesses get investor-ready — refining their business models, financials, and pitch so they can compete for capital.
Funding backs initiatives like the USCC Compost Economic Assessment, which builds the data case for composting investment and helps policymakers and investors understand the true scale of the opportunity.
Sponsorship keeps CCN events, summits, and the composting ecosystem directory accessible to the whole industry — so small and mid-size operators have the same shot at connections as the big players.
Sponsor funding will build and maintain a comprehensive directory of composters, haulers, capital providers, and service providers — making it easier for everyone in the industry to find the right partners.
Landfill bans are expanding. Community demand for composting is rising. But composting infrastructure is lagging — and federal grant funding is increasingly uncertain.
Private capital is one of the most important levers available to grow this industry right now. CCN exists to build the relationships, knowledge, and visibility that make capital transactions happen. Sponsors make that work possible.
