Persistent problems in current models
Global Food Waste Crisis: Nearly one-third of all food produced is wasted, leading to environmental damage and resource depletion.
Impact on the Environment: When food waste ends up in landfills, it decomposes anaerobically, producing methane—a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide.
Inefficiency of Traditional Waste Bins: Regular waste bins often create anaerobic conditions, causing harmful gas production and unpleasant odors and unwanted insects.
Reducing the weight of food waste lowers hauling costs
Our goal is to distribute at least 500 bins by 2028.
Food waste is a growing issue, with most of it ending up in landfills where it decomposes without oxygen, producing harmful methane gas. Even sending food waste to a commercial site causes methane and the production of anaerobic bacteria.
Our compost bin ensures there is proper airflow, creating an oxygen-rich environment where food waste breaks down naturally without producing methane. This turns waste into nutrient-rich compost that can be used to improve soil health, while also reducing the amount of waste sent to large scale operations.
By using our compost bin, homeowners and businesses can easily reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future and saving money on hauling costs!
The primary goal of the compost bin is to reduce food waste sent to landfills and commercial large scale composting facilities, minimizing harmful methane emissions, and possible contamination from commercial machines into the compost. By making composting easy and accessible, the project aims to reduce costs, encourage sustainable waste management practices for both households and businesses.
Reducing the weight of food waste lowers hauling costs, all with little to no electricity.
