No-stink, No-mess, Biodegradable Food Waste Container POST MODERN that goes right into your Compost
In urban areas, the dense concentration of business, industry, and housing results in large quantities of waste being generated in a relatively small geographic area. Composting is the natural process of decomposition and recycling of organic material into a humus-rich soil amendment known as compost. It could become a sustainable solution for waste disposal in urban areas.
Food waste that is not composed generally goes directly to a landfill that leads to an environmental problems.

Once in the landfill, organic matter may react with other materials and create toxic leachate.
Food waste placed in an airtight landfill stops the earth’s natural cycle of decomposition. This cycle plays a crucial role in the health of our environment.

Fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains, bread, unbleached paper napkins, coffee filters, eggshells, meats, and newspapers can be composted. If it can be eaten or grown in a field or garden, it can be composted.
Plastic, stainless steel, and ceramic countertop containers, and compostable plastic bags used by most people can stink, leak, require cleanup and make a mess of your kitchen.
Since food waste has unique properties as a raw compost agent; we must strive for implementing the composting system at our home.
