Sustainable Communities Online is the newly revised, updated, and redesigned website formerly known as the Sustainable Communities Network (SCN) website which was developed by a broad coalition of organizations around the United States in the mid-1990s. The intent of the SCN was to pool information on sustainability to make it more readily accessible to the public. CONCERN, Inc. and the Community Sustainability Resource Institute managed the SCN from 1993-2001 and CONCERN has managed it since then.

For over 30 years we’ve been reducing costs and increasing sustainability for food and beverage producers, industrial manufacturing companies, water and waste utilities, and municipalities through turn-key, beneficial-use waste management solutions. Our solutions help companies attain their zero-landfill goals while reducing waste management costs. And in many cases, our clients turn a profit from their own non-hazardous, organic waste materials. We strive to find innovative ways to reuse and recycle food processing solid and liquid waste in ways that benefit the environment, meet regulations, and reduce operational costs. We redirect waste from landfills to earth-friendly, beneficial uses: organic land application, composting, manufactured soil, anaerobic digestion, animal feed, fertilizer, energy/fuel production, and alternative raw materials for consumer goods (such as fireplace logs and potting soil). In 2022, we released 3 new consumer products created from upcycled coffee grounds: JavaEarth Soil Amendment, JavaBrewBQ Premium Grilling Pellets, and JavaFlame Premium Fuel Pellet for home heating use.
