The composter is based on the Japanese Bokashi system and is one of the most effective methods of composting meat, fish, bones, dairy products and other kitchen waste, including cooked foods, all of which are placed into the caddy-style container.

Because the process is odour-free and does not attract fruit flies, the container may be conveniently sited on the kitchen counter top. A natural activator, made from a mix of friendly bacteria, Effective Micro-organisms, is sprinkled over the material as it is added to the container. After a few days, the contents may be safely added to a conventional home composter, such as the Blackwall Compost Converter, where they will break down and will not attract vermin.

The small, air-tight unit is the perfect partner to conventional home composters, allowing the volume of organic waste diverted from landfill to be dramatically increased. As householders can now compost virtually all of their organic waste arisings, the impact on the waste stream is potentially considerable.

The container also features a tap, which allows a liquid feed to be drained off that may be used to fertilise the garden, or simply be poured into drains to prevent odours.
