To our community leaders:

Thank you for your time and for the work you are doing to implement California’s SB 1383 organic waste regulations. We understand the significant challenges counties face in meeting these ambitious goals, including infrastructure development, funding constraints, public education, food recovery logistics, and regulatory compliance.

We have developed a simple, cost-effective, and scalable solution to alleviate many of these challenges.  Our product is called Hoop, and it is a compact and easy-to-use attachment to existing plastic waste bins that allows residents to separate organic waste in a more discrete and convenient way, reducing contamination and improving adoption rates.

Here's how Hoop can help...

Infrastructure Development:

• Reduces the need for new bin distribution
Many counties and jurisdictions are investing in countertop bins that require cleaning, storage space, and frankly, are not visually appealing, nor convenient enough to ever be used. Hoop eliminates the need for a separate bin by integrating into existing waste systems.
• Minimizes contamination
One of the biggest barriers to successful composting is contamination from plastic and non-organic materials. Hoop encourages clean organic waste separation, reducing the burden on processing facilities.

Cost Savings & Funding Constraints:

• More affordable than traditional bins
Instead of purchasing, distributing, and maintaining bulky countertop bins, counties can provide a lower-cost, longer-lasting, and more convenient alternative.
• Reduces waste hauling costs
By improving organic waste separation, less material ends up in landfills, reducing tipping fees and methane emissions fines.

Public Education & Increased Participation:

• Encourages higher compliance rates
Many residents resist using countertop bins due to odors, space concerns, and inconvenience. Hoop simplifies compliance and makes organic waste separation an effortless habit.
• User-friendly design improves engagement
People are more likely to comply with SB 1383 when the solution fits naturally into their existing trash system. Hoop eliminates the need for extra handling and storage of food scraps.

Regulatory Compliance & Recordkeeping:

• Simplifies enforcement and tracking
With improved organic waste separation at the household level, waste audits and compliance checks become more straightforward for waste haulers and regulators.
• Enhances reporting accuracy
Cleaner waste streams result in more reliable data collection on organic waste diversion, helping counties meet SB 1383 compliance goals.

There is an alternative to counter-top compost bins to help increase resident compost participation, and lower compliance costs.

We are actively contacting local community leaders about how Hoop Compost can support in rolling out a successful, cost-effective SB 1383 compliance program. And we would be happy to provide sample units for review and discuss pilot program opportunities.
