Thank you for your continued participation in the US Composting Council's 'Seal of Testing Assurance'
Program.
The STA program is the only nationally recognized compost specific testing and labeling program. It was
developed over a period of several years, through a consensus process, by the nation's leading compost
research scientists. It identifies a composter who seeks to establish and maintain the highest standards in
quality control, product testing and information disclosure. It represents professionalism and integrity in your
business practices.
Please feel free to use the STA logo on all of your promotional literature and any place else that is appropriate.
It is a program that you can be proud to be a part of!
I also encourage you to participate in our Consumer Compost Use Program, which takes your STA data to the
next step and certifies it (assuming your compost meets the approved characteristics) for 3 classes of compost
use. They are; lawns, flower & vegetable gardens and trees & shrubs. The USCC is promoting these nationally
to consumers and professionals alike, and we believe that they will become the 'go to' standard for easy
identification of quality compost products!
Sincerely,
Alfred A. Rattie
USCC Director, Market Development
