““We’ve reduced our waste by 25% to 30% since we started the program. A little initiative forced us to think about how to reduce waste and in turn saved us some money.””
We’re proud to be working with the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development to implement key elements of its 2023 Food Waste Innovation Grant program.
$100,000 in FREE composting services through the FWIG’s Compost Credit program. Up to ONE YEAR of free Compost Cab for all eligible DC food businesses. (UPDATE: THESE FUNDS HAVE BEEN FULLY COMMITTED.)
FREE waste assessments for all eligible DC food businesses by appointment through September 30th, 2023.
IT’S NEVER BEEN EASIER TO START REDUCING FOOD WASTE. PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM TO BEGIN YOUR FWIG JOURNEY AND SEE HOW YOUR BUSINESS CAN SAVE MONEY, FEED PEOPLE IN NEED, AND PROTECT THE PLANET.
CONGRATULATIONS 2022 FOOD WASTE INNOVATION GRANT WINNERS!

““The area is cleaner, smells better, [has] less rats, [the] neighbors approve, and the staff find it much more pleasant to take the trash out now.””
““Introducing composting into our operations was a top sustainability goal. FWIG made it possible to accomplish. Their easy-to-use composting and collection process, training, and support makes it very user-friendly for small businesses.””
