We here at The Compost Co are passionate about making simple changes to our daily lives that have really positive impacts on the environment. And what easier place is there to start than in your own home!

One of the greatest contributors to global warming is methane gas, a powerful greenhouse gas which is released when food waste is unable to decompose in landfill due to a lack of oxygen. A report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) found that immediate reductions in methane emissions are the best chance the planet has at slowing climate change.

Councils around Australia are getting on board too by allowing us to recycle food scraps in our green waste bins. Some councils provide households with a ‘kitchen caddy’ but they tend to become smelly within a few days and are usually hidden underneath the sink. 

Enter The Compost Co!

Our bins have been designed to sit on your benchtop proudly amongst your other appliances. The unique ventilation system reduces moisture within the bin, while the charcoal filter ensures no smelly odours escape into your kitchen. Made from stainless steel in stylish colours they are easy to clean and won’t stand out as the bin you keep on top of your bench, but be something you can proudly point to and say ‘I am making a difference.’
