Home Composting

Our Composter Planters project is a decentralized waste management solution aimed at transforming household organic waste into valuable compost. Each unit is capable of converting up to 1 kg of daily organic waste into nutrient-rich compost while also serving as a planter. This dual functionality not only promotes waste reduction but also encourages urban gardening. To date, we have successfully installed over 12,000+ planters, significantly reducing the amount of organic waste ending up in landfills and fostering a culture of sustainability within communities.
