COMPOSTABLE KITCHEN FOOD WASTE CONTAINER
{POST}MODERN is the he no-stink, no-mess, biodegradable food waste container that goes right into your compost.
The idea grew (literally) from stinky plastic buckets in our families’ kitchens. About 10 years ago, our hometown of Seattle started curbside collection of food scraps. We loved the idea of composting food waste, but the countertop containers and compostable bag liners were disgusting, wet, stinky additions to our homes. So, we started working on ways to make collecting food scraps easy and clean.
In the U.S. more food waste is sent to landfills than any other type of trash. According to the EPA it’s 21% of landfill waste, and produces 39% of manmade, climate-changing methane. Making composting easier, cleaner and more convenient is a way to reduce those scary numbers.
Our solution is an entirely compostable molded container made from reycled cardboard boxes. We have two products, a starter kit with under-sink hanger and refill pack for continued use.
