ECI Case Study #1: When USDA threatened to destroy businesses in the wood fiber market by diverting raw materials to inefficient bioenergy uses through needless taxpayer subsidies, ECI organized the mulch & soil industry using a series of webinars explaining the threat, outlining a response and coordinating an industry action plan that generated over 28,000 public comments opposing the misuse. Previous hearings on this matter generated fewer than 200 comments. As a result, the USDA program was redirected to more appropriate uses.
