Full Circle Future is a national advocacy organization dedicated to tackling one of the most solvable climate, health, and economic challenges of our time — organic waste.

When food and other organic waste is buried in landfills, it generates huge amounts of pollution that supercharges climate change, contaminates our air and water, and makes people sick. More than 115 million people live within five miles of a municipal solid waste landfill, making this an urgent, yet largely invisible, health crisis. Our waste management system is also a shameful economic and resource distribution failure. Every year, billions of dollars of wasted food are buried in landfills, while 48 million people — more than the population of California — experience food insecurity. It's a lose-lose situation where the only winners are the waste companies who profit from every pound of trash.

Full Circle Future partners with organizations, policymakers, coalitions, and communities to advance strategic and equitable solutions to our big waste problem. We’re building toward a future where everyone can breathe clean air and drink clean water, nobody goes hungry, and local economies reap the rewards of sustainable alternatives to landfilling.
