About International Compost Awareness Week
International Compost Awareness Week is observed during the first full week of May each year, aiming to raise public awareness about the critical role of composting in waste reduction, soil health improvement, and climate change mitigation. The program features a poster contest and numerous events worldwide, including workshops, compost giveaways, and educational activities.
2025 Theme: Sustainable Communities Begin with Compost!
The theme for ICAW 2025, "Sustainable Communities Begin with Compost!", emphasizes the importance of composting at all levels—from individual households to large-scale facilities. It underscores how composting empowers communities to manage waste, create job opportunities, and support healthy soils with locally produced compost.
